False Positive - VirusTotal

[ShadowWhisperer]

I am well aware of VirusTotal claiming this is malicious.

Submitted for manual review to Microsoft

Any posts mentioning this will be deleted. I am very aware.

You have 3 options

1. Trust it (I don't care if you do or not)
2. Build it from source
3. Keep Edge installed

@ShadowWhisperer Maybe sign EXE files for sure with Cert or via GPG.

I using ESET from years. No EXE false positives.

Malwarebytes sees malware in probably everything not valid signed or repacked.

Is it possible to find out what sequence of commands the application is built with? I would be very grateful.

pyinstaller --noconsole --onefile -n Remove-Edge.exe edge.py --add-data "setup.exe;."

Just self-signing should be enough to make less detection rates.

Added certificate. We'll see how it goes. I haven't had anything "real" flag it from me, Since ~Dec of '23.

@ShadowWhisperer I don't care if it has a virus payload or just a normal edge remover, I have a ton of pirated softwares anyway, maybe my data is already stolen idc, fck my data. Thanks for this mate, finally gotten rid of my crap edge.

Your data oftentimes contains (sensitive) data of others, too, so that's no way to treat it.
