Jason Carr Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Alright, I tweaked the setup just a tad and re-uploaded it. @Antropus can you scan it and let me know if it triggers anything? I'd appreciate it. https://www.launchbox-app.com/download?g=c579577b-5705-4be6-b791-bc012195c2ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't think I was using the latest beta before. I just tried this new file and got a windows 10 popup (as before) saying that the file could be unsafe and then Kasperski wiped it out as soon as I told windows to proceed anyway. There are threads about Kasperski finding this kind of false positive for many years now. Doesn't seem like they ever fixed the problem, apparently.

Jason Carr Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Alright, I bit the bullet and installed Crapersky. Apparently my compilation process sometimes triggers it, and sometimes doesn't. So I just get to lovingly rebuild and rebuild and rebuild until Crapersky is satisified. It seems entirely random, sigh. This just shows how horrible their detection really is. If you trip their anti-virus, just rebuild your application and it'll probably work next time! Facepalm. So at least it looks to me like the issue is fixed now. I'm not really going to enjoy having Kaspersky installed (nor am I going to enjoy paying them for their crap software), but I guess I'll have to just deal with it. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The guy who made that company also scares me. *shudder* I've never had a false positive with either Malwarebytes Anti Malware or IOBit's Malware Fighter (I don't usually use that second one, but it's still great and comes in Advanced System Care which I frikin love!) and the pro version is the best. It blocks malicious or certain connections going in and out (and tells you about it) and blocks certain known malicious sites from even loading. I've used this for 8 years now and it's been great if anyone wants to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Surely a false positive. The thing about Kaspersky is that years ago when I was looking for an antivirus for our home computers, after quite a bit of research, it came on top of many lists as the best, most accurate available at that time. In fact, if you look at PCMag's article on the best antivirus of 2016, it's still there at one of the very best based on tests done by independent labs. I have it for about 9 years now and this is seriously the first time I've seen this. I mean, downloading shady torrents can do this and it happened in the past, but with a commercial software this is the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I just got this message. Seems like it narrows down to BigBox.exe. Seems like LaunchBox.exe is fine (per their standards, if that is worth anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I simply added BigBox.exe to the exclusion list, so it should be fine from now on, but it's worth taking a look at what changed recently, since older versions were not being detected like this. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yes, it was the "old" version of BigBox.exe 5.10. I've replaced the download now so if you reinstall the current 5.10 version over top the reports should go away. I tested it by installing the garbage on my own machine. Like I said above, every time I compile Big Box I get different results, without changing even a tiny bit of the code. Half the time Big Box compiles and doesn't trip Kaspersky, the other half of the time it does. It's really quite ridiculous; I wouldn't expect the binary results of a compile to be different when the code doesn't change, but apparently it is somehow or other, and Kaspersky throws a fit.

RiftCreeper Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ran BigBox.exe through VirusTotal and comes up clean on all major vendors. There is only one false positive but it's from an AV called Qihoo-360 so no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yeah, those things suck. First release of my little app, someone mentioned that his antivirus got triggered as well. I ran it through virustotal and out of 56 antivirus, only one accused it as positive, but Kaspersky wasn't it :) I tried to run this through virustotal but the installation file was over their size limit for uploads, but I trust you guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 New beta is out! Added two new features to Big Box: alpha-numeric navigation for long lists (just go left) and a locking mechanism with a pin to keep guests in read-only mode. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Both very nice additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADScott Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 That is great, looking forward to testing these out, both will be much appreciated by me when my kids are using BigBox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 First try at using the Alpha numeric navigation caused BigBox to lock up and become unusable Crashed the second time too. So far it only crashes on the Atari 2600 games (unknown if that is because the size of the library) when I tried it with my Lynx games it worked perfectly. Tried it again and it only crashed so far with Atari 2600 games which maybe the only roms in this setup that are on a network drive and not a local disk that is the only difference that I see between any of the files.

DOS76 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Also on every computer I've installed the new beta I'm getting a crash warning and an error message saying that LB is already running once I close out both boxes the install continues as usual but I've noticed this on the last few versions I've installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Jason Carr said New beta is out!

Thanks for this. :) *edit* I would really, really like to see desktop mode getting some similar features also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, must be something in that list of games that is causing the crash. Can you send me your current LaunchBox.xml, Derek? jason@unbrokensoftware.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADScott Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 No crashes for me. The letter listing is fantastic, very nicely done @Jason so much easier to navigate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriven Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I tested the new letter navigation in Big Box and noticed that the letters respond to only to the game's Title, but not to the game's "Sort Title." For instance, I have "The Dark Knight" with a sort title "Batman Begins 2", but for the letters "D" and "T" the list would pick "The Dark Knight." It would also remain stuck on that entry for the letters "E" through "W", at which point I could work from "W" backwards until I reached "T" (where it would hop back up to "The Dark Knight").
