Virustotal false positive on AltDrag 1.43 software

L0 Member

I am a developer of the AltDrag software that allows you to move/resize windows with the Alt+Click combo like under Linux. Main page here:

https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltDrag

Latest release 1.43 can be found here: https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltDrag/releases/download/1.43/AltDrag1.43-inst.exe

 

It seems that "Palo Alto Networks" antivirus improperly flags the file with the "Generic.ml" flag.

 

File Hash: BA170C1B2BE713FAE625D5B69F1A2248B8E209EDE260D2BB77DCA1F32530CDCE

Link to Virustotal report for the file: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ba170c1b2be713fae625d5b69f1a2248b8e209ede260d2bb77dca1f32530cdce...

Current VirustTotal Verdict: Generic.ml

 

Description: I am 100% sure it is a false positive as I am the main developer of the program and I make the builds myself.

AltDrag does hook the mouse and keyboard to enhance the window management. This is probably why it may look suspicious to some anti-viruses.

It is a problem for some of my users and I would be grateful if you could investigate this and suppress this false alert.

Thanks in advance
