Imapsync and virus scanners
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Q. My virus scanner claims imapsync.exe is a virus/malware/trojan etc.
What the hell?
R1. Yes, I find the same sometimes with few antivirus, some report that
imapsync might have a trojan in it.
Most virus scanners say imapsync.exe and is ok.
I've done this test on imapsync.exe release 1.727 on the two following
meta-virus-scanners:
https://www.virustotal.com/
https://www.metadefender.com/
R2. Explanation:
It may come from the fact that imapsync checks whether there is a
new realease available at http://imapsync.lamiral.info/VERSION
It's explained here:
https://imapsync.lamiral.info/#NUMBERS
Any other explanation is welcome!
R3. There is no virus alerts reported for the Perl script imapsync
itself. The binary imapsync.exe is just a compiled version of
the script imapsync, with perl interpreter itself and all modules
needed by imapsync in order to make imapsync.exe a standalone software.
R4. Using online meta-virus-scanners
