mGBA 0.6.0 known as a treat - A J - 07-19-2017
Hi, I am new member here. I have a question. mGBA 0.6.0 (only version 0.6.0) is known as a treat in avast antivirus, why? sorry my English is bad.
RE: mGBA 0.6.0 known as a treat - florian biker - 07-19-2017
I alredy posted about that.
It's a false positive, prolly it triggers something that "behaviour shield" find suspect.
Fun fact is that even if you scan the file avast! does not recognize it as a malware.
We have to wait that their whitelisters check the file, otherwise you can add by yourself to your own whitelist.
report file for being a false positive will speed up the process, i think

OK, thanks. Sorry for repeating this thread.

I've merged the threads.

That is what is known as a false positive, mGBA is completely safe as far as I know. If it wasn't then I doubt people would be using it.
RE: mGBA 0.6.0 known as a threat - A J - 07-24-2017
Problem has been solved. avast no longer knows 0.6.0 as a threat.

confirmed, seems that emailing the file to their labs worked
