Thank you so much for responding.
I added the files & paths to the Exclusions list, but continued to get the siren and verbal warning when I actually ran the (converted) exe files.
I don't know what I did wrong, I will try again when I get home.
I use freeware Batch2Exe-converter to compile batch files I wrote myself.
From the author's website:
This program uses UPX to pack executables
This program uses FASM to compile the executables
This program uses GoRC to compile the resource files
I know UPX is known to sometimes cause false positives, maybe the others do as well.
For one of the compiled batch files, VirusTotal results show 2 flags for backdoor, 2 for Trojan.bat.agent, and 2 for "suspicious".
For the converter itself, VirusTotal results show 1 flag for suspicious Trojan/Worm, 1 for Win32.ModifiedUPX.gen!84 (suspicious).
I think probably because the author used UPX to pack the converter.
Can you advise what action I should take at this point?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
