Panda free antivirus detects qTox as suspect software

[Deleetdk]

I am running Windows 8.1, 64bit.
Panda Free Antivirus 16.0.1.
qTox build 05fece4

Presumably a false positive, but worth looking into in case there was a recent pull from a 3rd party. Not necessarily caused by something qTox is doing wrong. However, it may be that if Panda detects it, some of the other antivirus programs will too.

Could it be added to https://wiki.tox.chat/users/problematic_antivirus_software ?

I swear I'm going to write a packer just to keep the cheap AVs at bay.

@Deleetdk or could you at least provide info as what kind of "threat" qTox was identified, so that I could add it to the wiki?

[Deleetdk]

@zetok I wanted to, but since I added the program file to the exclusion list, it removed the detection from the history, so I can no longer see what it said specifically. It did not mention a particular virus, just "suspicious program" or something of that sort.

probably because off the p2p software part in toxcore...

[zetok]

I see.
I've added to wiki what I could - if someone has more info, please add it to the wiki.

@Deleetdk could you contact panda about it, so that they could fix their software?

Ok, thanks.
Since not much can be done about it, closing the issue.
