InstallAware X12 trial problem with virustotal.com

Hello,

We're now in process of testing InstallAware Studio Admin.
This is a great tool, but we faced one problem - when checking InstallAware generated setup through virustotal.com it reports two threats.

To be sure I created empty setup project, compiled compressed exe out of it and then checked this empty project in the virustotal - same situation.

Can you advise something maybe? Not much similar topics on this forum.

Thank you

Cheers,
Tamara

Dear Tamara,

in all honesty, I'm not sure how reliable it's such "virustotal.com" service.

I just built a dummy exe application using Visual studio. I simply created a new C++ project from scratch, and then I compiled the project as it is. Finally, I submitted the compiled file for a scan ...and these are the results:

...so frankly, I don't think this may be considered a reliable result.

Hope this helps you.
