Hello to everyone,

Usually virus reports are false positives but I am reporting this because 13 engines report trojans on several EXE files shipped within PlayOnMac 4.4.1. It still seems a false positive (due to scoring) but on Macs from Users with Antivirus the PlayOnMac components are automatically deleted at the first scan. It is still an issue.

One of the files is for example taskmgr.exe:

/Volumes/PlayOnMac/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/Resources/unix/wine/lib/wine/taskmgr.exe

PlayOnMac 4.3.4 seems to be clean with Bitdefender.

What do you think about?

The amount of Antivirus engines that report Malware raised from 13 engines to 22 engines :-(
