FP: How to fix Win64:Evo-gen [Susp] on NSIS build installer?
« on: March 29, 2016, 07:38:31 PM »
Hi,

Downloads of our software installer from our website is blocked by Avast! protection.

Our software installer is  build with NSIS version 3.0b3-1 under MSYS2+MINGW64 shell.

According to www.virustotal.com, Avast! suspect the presence of Win64:Evo-gen (database update: 20160329) in the installer. No problem is detected when checking our software (without the installer).

How to fix this? Filling a false positive form is not possible as our binary is > 10Mo...

Compile the installer separately in all the compression types NSIS is using and check which one is giving the problem.
I suspect that ZLIB gives the problem.

Done: Whatever the compression (zlib, bzip2, lzma) the setup is blocked!
