Does the software contain virus PECompact?

(1/3) > >>

brate:
I download the url snooper 2 LATEST RELEASE(v2.18.01 Beta)
from the official site(https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/urlsnooper/downloads/URLSnooper.exe)
It was reported by my Kaspersky Anti-virus that this program was infected by a virus called PECompact.

Same problem for the PREVIOUS RELEASE(v2.14.02) from https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/urlsnooper/downloads/stable/URLSnooper.exe
also report a "PECompact" virus?

I wanna whether this is true or kaspersky reported wrongly.

f0dder:
PECompact is an executable compressor that reduces file size of programs. It's not a virus, but kaspersky detects things that aren't viruses... too bad it doesn't make it clear what exactly it's detecting. I wonder if it does this for UPX and other compressors as well?

PECompact is from http://www.bitsum.com , and written by Jeremy Collake who is a member here as well.

brate:
it was reported as "PECompact(modified)"
don't know why it was marked as "modified".

mouser:
If you do a search for PECompact you will see it is a very reputable
program "compressor", it has nothing whatsoever to do with a virus --
it's just kaspersky being overly paranoid (or irresponsibly scaring
people if you ask me).  It's definitely not a virus.

I will email kaspersky and see if i cant get them to fix this before
they scare more people.  It's unfortunately not so uncommon for
antivirus programs to false alarm on stuff.

nosh:
Maybe it can't unscramble the compressed code thoroughly to see if it's infected or not so it gives you a heads-up to play safe.
