I just downloaded Audiomuxer 0.9.4.9 from the SurroundByUs.com web site and my anti-virus (Norton Internet Security) quaranteened it!

Has anyone else come across this? Is it a known "false positive" or is it possible that the installer has been nobbled?
 
...think I just cracked this myself; it seems that because the installer is pretty rare it's not recognised by Norton's download protection and it hence takes the "safe" approach of quarantining. The installer itself is fine and virus free.

Mods: please feel free to delete this thread to avoid any confusion/false alarms!
 
Snood Necro 4 year old thread \o/ - Hi Neil you are famous on Google Search lol

Hey just so folks know:

I usually use an old Vista (yes Vista) laptop to use Audiomuxer and Make MKV since my Desktop does not have a Bluray player

Yesterday I decided to download Audiomuxer onto my PC since I was having a lil trouble with one MKV file.........So I went to the website downloaded the new version that came out this month and Norton Antivirus Security went ape sheeet and would automatically quarantine it over and over with a WS.1.Reputation reason

So Snood did some research and found that this is most likely a false positive, but wanted to be sure so I submitted the file to Norton for verification - here is there response:

in relation to submission 23296.

:banana: the bananas are mine

So in other words the download is clean and they were quarantining it due to a lil used or unknown .execute process file - So in 24 hours or more it should be on their White list

Just a Heads up
 
I have a different virus checker and it also went into alert a year or two back. I got an alternative link and that was fine. Is it possible that the old link is rogue now?
