Hi,
I downloaded pidgin 2.14.1 from the official site and installed it last
night. (My previous system install used 2.13.0, and I haven't had pidgin
installed on my system since April.)
VirusTotal is showing that SecureAge APEX is reporting pidgin.exe as
malicious.
I'm not seeing anything on virus scans, and internet searches are not
producing anything on this. I can't validate that this is a false
positive or not.
I did not see a false positive listed as a known issue on the issue
tracker, and it seemed authentication was required to post there. I
found this email address on pidgin site, and figured I would let you
know this way. In the event that it is a false positive, it would be
nice if it at least was noted on the virustotal website as such.
Thanks,
Cindy
