MKVToolNix reported as Win32:Evo-Gen

Hi!

When I download MKVToolNix 64 bit installer from the official site : http://www.fosshub.com/MKVToolNix.html I get an error saying that it was blocked due to Win32:Evo-Gen [Susp].

False positive? Or real issue on the official distribution site of MKVToolNix?

Thanks,
Gilles.

Win32:Evo-Gen [Susp] = Suspicious … it may happen if file is new, few users, behave strange

If you think it is ok, report it here https://support.avast.com/ > avast virus lab

you can test file(s) by uploading to www.virustotal.com / www.metascan-online.com
if tested before, click rescan for a fresh result

This is a real issue and still an active one with latest MKVToolnix release version: 7.9.0.

That is a confirmed false positive and i dunno how to exclude specifically those files from the Avast threat list :-\

I don’t wan’t to exclude every .exe files from my download folder obviously…

The last file concerned is : mkvtoolnix-amd64-7.9.0-setup.exe
