Avast antivirus flags the Updater 1.3.0 as malware and quarantines it. Malwarebytes flags it as well.
Here's the link to Virustotal with the scan:

I really hope there is no virus.
I use McAfee my self and it has not reported anything.
I use NSIS for the installer, always have. I hope i can trust the site i downloaded it from. https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download
I'm not sure how i could test this any other way

As far as I can tell it looks like false positives but I have reverted the main download back to 1.2.10 for now. I'll submit the new 1.3.0 as a false positive so some of the larger AV's to have them check it out.

This happens sometimes and I've had to do it before.

I hope its quick as 1.2.10 is not supported anymore.

By the way there is already a new version coming later today as i found a bug for new users.

This should be cleared up soon I hope. Just received a reply from AVG:

Quote:
#14525826 - AVG: False positive file EQ2MAP-Updater-1.3.0-Setup.exe

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this false positive.

We have now cleared its reputation in our database based on the findings and removed the detection. This change may take up to 24 hours to take full effect. Please accept our apology for the inconvenience caused.

I have also submitted it to Avast (no word from them yet) and Microsoft and so far things are looking good there.

Avast, AVG and Microsoft Defender have all came back saying the file is clean and they will update their signatures. I have put version 1.3.0 back.

This is certainly a false positive and like I said those three have updated their definitions and no longer alert on eq2map

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/...ddff/detection

There are still a few more to contact but going to wait a little bit to see if the other AVs follow suit.

jnils released 1.3.1 of the eq2map updater and after submitting the exe to Microsoft first it seems to have helped.
