How Will You React If You Bought A WSO With 5/45 Detection Ratio In VirusTotal?

9 replies
Recently I was requested to review a WSO but I found it contains 5/45 detection ratio with virustotal before I open it. I sent feedback to the seller by asking him to fix it if possible but he claimed those to be false positive.

I'm trying to help the seller to avoid bad reviews, can some expert confirm this for me?

    Hmmm...can someone else advice me what should I do? Should I just open the WSO and review it? I'm worry about the risk of getting virus...

      If you're worried about a virus, don't open it. That's pretty simple. That said, there are a number of non-commercial softwares that will throw a false positive.

      If it's a review copy, I wouldn't open it.

      If you got the copy from a thread on the forum here, I'd suggest you post the results, without further comment, in the thread for the author to respond.

      About the same if you bought the WSO, except if it were me, I'd ask for a refund.

      Certainly don't open it. Contact the owner as you have already done it.

        That's kinda crazy...I'd probably try a few different scanners if possible just to see what happens but definitely wouldn't install it until I was convinced it was safe.

        And if someone told me my plugin was doing that, I would certainly investigate that big time before I let anyone else even touch it.

    You can tell the seller of the WSO that the Adware/ANDR variant is definitely not a "false positive."

    Everything else on that list could be a false positive, but the ANDR is most definitely a true positive (and they are persistent suckers). More than likely (and because I like to give the benefit of the doubt), the seller's computer is already infected with that strand of ANDR and it is now infecting the compressed files he created for the WSO.
