After compilation of the basic example core_basic_window.c AVG antivirus detect a Trojan Win32:TrojanX-gen.
The library owner on github site say about it:
"Most probably a false positive. In any case, it's an open-source project, if you find malicius code, please report."
Very disappointed because now I need to examine all the source code and I just want to see a basic demo running.
I trust AVG because every day I'm running every app I found on the internet.
- Sammi 6y agoIt is extremely common for anti virus software to label newly compiled executables as false positives. They use a bunch of heuristics and tune in favor of distrusting new executables they haven't seen before.
- RicardoLuis0 6y agoDid you double-check with a tool such as virustotal? False positives can be quite common with anti-virus software, since they tend to err on the side of caution, and if it is indeed a false positive, you should report it to the antivirus company itself rather than the developer of the library.
- djbiccboii 6y ago"I trust AVG" Problem #1 :) It's open source software. I promise in the thousands of people that look at that source code they would know if there was a virus before AVG XD
