#1929 — After Install/Run antivirus software classifies my EXEs as 'suspicious'

What does other installed apps have that prevents antivirus software 
from blocking them? I have a problem with being blocked regardless of 
where the app is located. Is there a standard 'flag' that needs 
setting, at design time, or registration action required on install?

LOL.

First off, is this a joke? Of course there is no such 'flag'! If there
really was such a thing the very first step anyone, planning evil,
would do is to set the 'flag'. <G>

Your application is considered 'suspicious' because when scanned by
antivirus software it appears to contain malicious code.  Exactly what
that code might be can be difficult at times to determine. Your app
may in fact, albeit innocently, be attempting to do something
considered nefarious.

Take a hard look at what your application is doing. If it is taking
liberties with security - re-write it.

Or it may be a false positive. This happens on occasion and can come
about purely by accident. Some arrangement within your application of
perfectly benign statements creates a series of bits in the binary
which map 'signatures' of known malware.

Can be very tough to ferret out. Unfortunately, the usual procedure is
to remove blocks of functionality until you can isolate the problem to
a limited area, then often a simple rearrangement of code can resolve
the problem.

Then of course your compiler, components, or installer may have picked
up a virus. Is your development box clean?

Most antivirus software allow you to over-ride some complaints.
Generally consider unwise to grant exceptions but can be employed in a
pinch. In-house that is. Don't expect any customers to be so trusting.

Yeah.., dumb Q now that I think of it!

They're frontloader EXEs that automate Excel, mostly. (One is an actual 
 VB6 app)

Not the case, though they all use WMI at startup.

Perhaps I'll test without the code using WMI. Everything else is basic 
VB...

Yeah, I have to set exceptions on their top level folder in my 
antivirus software.

I once had a Microsoft Access database with queries, forms, reports
and VBA code flagged as malicious.  I was happily working in it and my
A/V software happily deleted it on me.   

A true PITA to work with.  I sent a copy of the MDB to the anti virus
vendor and worked on something else for a few days until the problem
stopped happening after an update.

Karl Peterson had an interesting piece about that
kind of problem a few years ago. I might be of some
value in your case:

http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2008/01/29/are-you-safer-now.aspx

  I haven't noticed any particular trouble with AV, but
those programs have become blown way out of
proportion, and there's an increasing tendency to
simply cast suspicion on anything unknown. If it's
not a common, corporate program then it's guilty
until proven innocent.

Thanks for that! My apps don't use the Registry for anything.., not 
even file associations! The jist of the article does align with Ralph's 
comments, though.

Just did some testing with apps that do use the Registry and they run 
fine. Also tested apps that don't use WMI and they also run fine. Looks 
like I might need to put that code in a DLL. Note that my Excel addins 
that use WMI run fine. Hmm...

   That was just an example he ran across. There could be
other strings that might have an effect. AV that I've seen
tends to be "dumb on the safe side", doing things like raising
flags on all .vbs files, simply because they were used years
ago to write malware, rather than looking at the code....
and all the while giving EXEs a pass.

  It seems odd that AV might be set off by WMI. It's
used extensively in corporate IT. On the other hand,
most of WMI is just bloated, slow, redundant wrappers.
I can't think of anything it has that isn't easily got
elsewhere, with one exception: The system information
functions are very extensive and seem to be in WMI-
specific libraries. Even in scripting I only use WMI for
system info and for the Registry functions (because
WScript.Shell.Reg* functions are not dependable).

Just for the record, you do understand that WMI (Microsoft Windows
Management Instrumentation) is design for *script* administrative
management? It is based on an Industry Standard (CIM).

   But it's noticeably slow even compared to VBS.
I can't say I'm impressed with official "industry
standards", either. WMI is monstrously designed.
It's such a mess that I have to look up the syntax
and copy/paste every time I use it. On top of all
that, it provides very little that script can't already
do.

  Oddly, I remember VBPJ doing an excited feature
issue on WMI when it came out. It was touted as
an almost endless, new toolbox for VB.

True.

Anything "scripting" to most of the IT industry meant (and still
means) "VB". <g>

I find this interesting that all my EXEs using WMI get blocked by a/v, 
and all that don't use it run fine! Note that I use your recommended 
method for creating a ref late bound. Perhaps it's the way the code is 
structured, because the apps don't mess with anything other than their 
own files, and user files saved to wherever. Note also that, in 
deference to Tony's report, none of my VBA projects using WMI have 
problems with a/v apps.

Try using Virus Total:

https://www.virustotal.com/

McAfee is well known for flagging many EXE's as suspicious even when all 
other AV program say it's clean.

Thanks for your suggestion!
Did this and got a clean bill for 49 a/v apps (including mine). I 
submitted the file to Avast for analysis of 'false positive'!

Is there an exact type of message or virus definition name from the
client?   What A/V software are they using?  Can you setup a repro on
a guest OS?

Also try rearranging the order of a few subroutine/function calls each
each module.   <shrug>  Just guessing.

what does the AV software report ? I mean, which "virus" name ?

Also, try uploading your exe to https://www.virustotal.com/ scan it
and check which AVs are flagging your app and "how" (virus name)

then just check the details related to that malware and you'll see why
the AVs are flagging your app and possibly find a way to solve the
issue

Thanks! This is what Farnsworth suggested also. Looks worth a try...

He's trying to say politely that you're a goofus and he's not wasting time 
on you anymore.  Clear enough?
