Gen.Variant.Kazy.573282 detected in latest Handbrake download

gabrielarchangel · Apr 9, 2015

On 05 Apr 2015 I attempted three separate downloads of Handbrake 0.10.1 from specific link http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/handbrake,2.html and BitDefender blocked all three attempts, detecting Gen.Variant.Kazy.573282 in all three downloads.

From handbrake.fr (source site), handbrake successfully downloaded with no Bitdefender interference.

Might be false positive, but wanted to warn you.

Note that I tried again today when sending this, and BitDefender again responded with a block and Gen.Variant.Kazy.573282 detection.

Welcome to Majorgeeks

This is the wrong forum for that type of thread - it's a Software issue and you will see that forum below.

As far as BitDefender is concerned, all AV programs report False Positives now and again.
If you want to confirm that then simply run the downloaded set up file to the online scanner Virus Total here:

You can go to BitDefender and report a false positive to them via their support/contact and there must be an option in BitDefender for you to add an exception/don't scan or report.

Moved to Software and as JoeRay12 stated as far as the scan...the download comes out clean on every one, including bitdefender, so I'm not sure what your machine is pulling up. Here's a copy of the analysis:

I've have that version, downloaded from MajorGeeks on my Win 7 Home premium computer (32 bit) since January 2. 2015. I have MSE and Malwarebytes Pro. Neither complained during the download nor the install and I've also scanned several times with both programs and nothing was reported.

If MajorGeeks, Gizmo's Freeware and VirusTotal say it's clean, then it's clean. :major
