Hi Daniel ,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, this is one of our servers. The reason why your security software says that it might be malicious is that someone may use our legitimate software for malicious purpose and that use was detected. However, this doesn't make the server itself or the software malicious (which is pretty hard to explain to security experts given their level of paranoia:) ).

In other words, the fact that hackers use Windows or Linux to build viruses doesn't make these OSes malicious per se. Unfortunately, modern security software is mostly "reputation-based" and immediately flags benign software as a virus or "suspicious" if it was used at least once in some illegal activity (see technical support scam).

Hope that helps.

Hello Dave,

Thank you for your message.

We submitted a report to Avast and they already replied to us saying that the detection was removed. Please, try updating your Avast virus definitions base.

Hi Vivek,

We've already sent a false positive report to Microsoft. We would appreciate it if you send an FP to them too. Here is a link to the form https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission

Thanks.

Hi Marc,

Thank you for your report. We'll take care of that and send a false positive report to Microsoft immediately.

Hi Peter,

We have sent false positive reports to Avast. As always (pardon my sarcasm here) the allmighty "security experts" and their algorithms are incapable of joining the dots and figure out that it's just an update of an existing product signed with the same digital signature rather than a new virus or trojan :)

Hi Peter,

Yes, version 7.1.5 has a bugfix for the issue with Host showing an error message when the user copies rich content on the remote computer.

With regards to the issue above - if you are updating existing Host installation it is recommend to use the "Simple update" feature as described in this guide https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/updating-remote-utilities/.

Hello,

Yes, it was a bug. We have fixed it. Please, download version 7.1.5.0.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
