Sorry about that. Anyways I put two completely safe blank NotePad files in a completely safe Install Creator 2 Installer and I put It in a .zip file and uploaded the .zip file with the Installer and my download go accused of being harmful when it was and is not harmful in the least.


How do I correct such an issue please? Thank you :) : )
 
What's the point of this test? It honestly seems like it's a waste of your time doing it.

That said, I can understand why it got flagged. Those scanners typically rely on 3 things to flag suspicious files. First is definitions of known viruses and malware. The second is patterns and practices used to hide malicious code (such as an exe hidden in a zip) and third is what I'd like to call the "WTF Factor" where if something doesn't look right it probably isn't. IN this case, if I were writing the utility I'd see an exe "only" installing two blank text files and go "that can't be right, it's hiding something else in that exe" and flag it.
