(false positive) AnyDesk Version 1.1.7 Beta!

Hello,

Avast is blocking and reporting that “AnyDesk 1.17 Beta” has a virus called Win32:Fasec(Trj)

I am pretty sure this is a false positive.

is your avast updated?

Yes my Avast is up to date.

But the download is being blocked as of this morning still.

I have just downloaded the file with no problem

Still being blocked on my computer.

Weird click the false positive link on the popup to report it

This is still not fixed! :frowning:

It is a beta, wait till the final release and see if it still is reported.

AnyDesk has been in Beta from the beginning and besides 1.16, 1.15 and so on was not blocked by Avast.

It started being blocked with 1.17.

Also it looks like Anydesk will be in Beta form for a while it looks like.

avast is not the only one flagging it
