KobraKid1337 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 In the latest beta update (9.6beta-4), Bitdefender began recognizing BigBox.exe as containing malware. A scan against 70 antivirus systems returned 9 virus threats, the report can be seen here: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/8b533f04a860a1a97b4bf19cfb0f0b020f5ef045f265b63d5b385f58005b9a12/detection Should I be concerened about these results, or can someone confirm that this is a false positive and that it'd be safe to exclude the file from the search results?

This is just something you will have to put up with with beta software. The official releases are run through online antivirus databases to ensure, as much as we can that antivirus's will not detect the program as a virus (because of course it isnt) but some crappy antivirus are just way over sensitive anyway. With beta releases this step is not taken as there could be betas every day, sometimes more than once a day and once a beta is cleared a new one will release and we would have to do that all over again, and of course not a huge number of people use the betas, so to antivirus software its a new program that it hasnt seen before and has no pool of users yet to say that it is perfectly safe to use.
