Im trying to pack an Executable using an Exe Packer like UPX.I packed and checked the File with VirusTotal.com.Here some 9 Antivirus Products say its a Virus actually its a harmless exe.I think the AV Engines which are bases on Ikarus has problems like this. Why can't they check the file properly using better techniques before flagging it as a virus.
Tell me more

I believe some of them will label it as a virus because they can potentially be "decompression bombs" also known as a "zip bomb" which will overload memory when trying to be unpacked. It may not be true that it is a decompression bomb but Avast says that it hard to detected resulting in some false positives. |

Kaspersky and Nod32 have unpackers for them. Some other are just lazy to do so and insted they lable it as a hack tool. You can try diffrent packers that they don't detect or just rar your exe instead. |
