FDM - virus? 395x6a

[U91]

Norton Internet Security quarantined file flvsniff.dll belonging to FDM 3.9.4 (1485)
It was identified as something called Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP
What's going on?
Will uninstall FDM untill this is sorted out and satisfactory answer is given.

It's a false positive.

Proposes that before reporting the problem check out:

Wrong alert is caused heuristic antivirus program.
Each program has different methods for detection and scanning engine.
The best report to a program to detect erroneous file.

It's a false positive.

Well, thanks for the answer.
Not the ideal situation - to take developer's word, that one of his files is not a virus,
but thanks anyway. Will be using another manager for now.

To super: I have uninstalled the program, so can not use your suggestion.

This should be fixed. Will try future version to see if it has.

If you pretend to be an advanced , you should report false positives to your AV .
File flvsniff.dll is as suspicious as any tool (f.e knife) is. Kaspersky in such cases provides better descriptions, like this one:
"File contains legal software that can be used by criminals to damage your computer or personal data".

On the other side I have already suggested that all exe and dll files in FDM should be digitally signed with a certificate. It will be a must for 64-bit plugins.

If you pretend to be an advanced ...

What the hell is that supposed to mean???
I don't pretend anything.

I could report it, but I don't care enough to bother.
Especially since I don't use it anymore.

Especially since I don't use it anymore.

And I don't have that file on my computer any longer.

Millions of people use the same AV software as me. They may run into the same issue.
I had used FDM for several years and until now it never gave me a reason to complain.
