Why does my antivirus flag the download as a trojan?

What causes the virus alert

This message is a false positive detection. It occurs because our product includes a DLL file that has been processed through a .NET Obfuscator - a legitimate tool used to protect software code.

The purpose of obfuscation is to protect code from reverse engineering and unauthorized analysis by making it difficult to read or interpret. This is a common practice in the software industry, especially for safeguarding proprietary algorithms and intellectual property.

However, the techniques used by obfuscators to secure the code can sometimes resemble the behaviors of malware. These actions are benign and intended for code protection but can trigger heuristic analysis algorithms used by antivirus software.

Is the download safe?

Yes, downloading from our website is completely safe. The file is not malicious - it's simply protected with code obfuscation, which is a standard security practice in software development.

Common antivirus programs affected

This false positive can occur with various antivirus software, including but not limited to:

• Windows Defender
• McAfee
• Norton
• Kaspersky
• Avast
• AVG

What to do if your antivirus blocks the download

1. Allow the download: Most antivirus programs will give you an option to "Allow" or "Download anyway" when they flag a file
2. Whitelist the file: You can add the file to your antivirus's exclusion/whitelist so it won't be flagged in the future
3. Verify the source: Ensure you're downloading directly from our official website (support.flowbots.ninja)
4. Scan after download: If you're concerned, you can scan the downloaded file with VirusTotal (virustotal.com) to verify it's clean
