KVR Audio

I'm on windows 10.
I've been using kvr studio manager for a long time.
Very useful program.
Just installed the latest version.
Didn't go as planned though, cause windows says there's a virus in the installation.
Apparantely it's a serious threat, so windows automatically removed it and put it in quarantine.
I'm hoping for a quick fix for this, so I can install it properly and start using it again.

Upload here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload

If it shows clean there, then it is clean.

Also, consider submitting the installer as a false positive to Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission

In a perfect world, developers would do all that BEFORE releasing their installers to the wild.

FYI I'm also a Windows 10 user and that doesn't happen to me.

I uploaded the 448 installer to virustotal.com and got a clean bill of health for the installer:

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b3c ... /detection

But Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml and Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml detected for files within:

KVR Studio Manager.exe

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/25a ... 1be4bdfc9d

KVRPluginScanner.exe

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/715 ... 442ceb7e02

These are false positives. I'll ask our dev if there's anything that can be done.

Yeah, well I think I'll just wait for it to be fixed.
I'm not willing to take any chances.

"I'll ask our dev if there's anything that can be done."
Ok thanx

I'll be waiting...

Don't worry, it's a false positive.

Surely will be quickly in Microsoft's virus definitions as well.

Windows flags the latest version of kvr studio manager as a threat...
