Hello,
I have installed Remote Utilities some time ago on my computer. Unfortunately, RUTViewer.exe has been added as malware to Avira Antivirus. I uploaded the file to them a few days ago and this is what I got back as a result:
The file 'rutview.exe' has been determined to be 'MALWARE'. Our analysts named the threat TR/Rogue.149760.1. The term "TR/" denotes a trojan horse that is able to spy out data, to violate your privacy or carry out unwanted modifications to the system. Detection is added to our virus definition file (VDF) starting with version 7.11.186.164.
On Virustotal, which I checked yesterday, only 7 AV programs mark RUTviewer.exe as malware (which is quite nice, considering the files are tested with many more AV programs.
I read the forum so I know software like RUT can be threated as malware because of the type of program, but every time I start my computer, Avirus tries to remove/quarantaine the viewer and so, I'll never be able to use Viewer as long as Avira is on. I wish you'll be able better than me to convince Avira RUTViewer is not worth marking as malware and exclude it from the VDF. I don't need to use RUT very much at the moment but I like the program when I use it, so I wish Avira will remove the malware mark soon!
Thanks for this nice program!
