As seen in the image, the Brave installer is detected as a Trojan by a mechanism built into https://www.virustotal.com/
I consider this can damage the trust with newer users since this protection service is used by many people
Expected result:
Brave would be marked as clean by ALL antivirus, but that does not happen. To be clear only ONE antivirus / antimalware detects it as a Trojan,
Brave Version( check About Brave):
It’s the installer, I don’t think the Brave version matters. But anyways, it’s the latest stable version
Additional Information:
I consider this to be an error of Antiy-AVL itself, since none of the other remaining antiviruses considerer the installer of Brave as a threat. But well, I don’t expect the developers to do something to fix this, it’s more to keep you up to date on this issue.
@Markook,
Thank you for reporting. I’m forwarding this information to our security team to review and resolve. I believe it goes without saying that we are not a Trojan and this issue has sprung up ever so often with different A/V software.
@Mattches Of course, it was quite obvious that this was an error of their system itself since no other antivirus detected it (example: high quality antiviruses like Kaspersky or ESET Nod32)
This project has a great future, keep working as you are doing! I wish you guys the best
I know that it took very little time for this to be solved, but I want to alert that another mechanism began to detect it as dangerous. In this case Jiangmin detected it
Clearly the malware (that u can download in that page) comes, for some reason, with the installer and maybe that’s the cause of the detections
