AVG Identifies Win64 Prey Install as Malware

#1

Hi, trying to reinstall prey and AVG keeps deleting the setup file (win 64bit) saying it is infected with win32:malware-gen (!) - I turned off AVG to install but thought you should know…

Hi @preyhelp,
Thanks for letting us know, the problem is now fixed.
It’d be awesome if you can confirm it :slight_smile:

I had issues downloading Prey the other day from AVG. Turned off AVG and could download. Just now AVG sent prey-windows-1-8-2-x86 (deleted b,).exe to Quarantine because it was infected with Win32:Malware-gen. Please advise.

FYI,

Avast also seems to think it’s malware.

McAfee also flagged/quarantined it:

Hey,

Could you guys download the installer file and try again please? The problem should be fixed by now.

@Javo - issue is fixed with Win32, however, the issue is still there with Win64 version.

My AVIRA is detecting TR/Diztakun in Win64 version of Prey

Cheers
