Dash core wallet and Norton virus scanner

[dashakti]

Up until now, I have been using hardware wallets to store my dash. I thought I would try out the core wallet. So, went to dash.org, downloaded the "dashcore-0.12.1.5-win32-setup.exe". I compared the hash and it matched.

Within a few minutes of downloading the installer, "Norton security suite" flags this file as a threat and deletes it automatically. I tried this a few times, and every time it flags the file as high risk and automatically deletes the file. Norton message is "Trojan.Gen.8!Cloud detected by virus scanner".

I attached the screenshot. You can see the file name and the norton message clearly. I hope someone can look into this and help me.

@tungfa Thank you. Since the hash matches with the hash file, I guess it is a false positive.

i talked to the devs about this before - they gave me the details for that wiki post and said exactly the same (false positive)

This is happening to me now with Window Defender Window 10.
I have my Dash Core/ Wallet for over a month and everything has been working fine until last night. When I opened my Dash Core Window Defender Delete the "dash-qt.exe" file from its location. The antivirus now says Trojan:Win32/Clavior.B!cl Alert level: Severe Actions: Quarantine

Items: File C:\Program Files\Dash Core\dash-qt.exe;

Any Help from anyone before I do anything. My wallet is backed up ok.

Thank you everyone!

Norton false positive. There is NO malicious malware hidden in the files of our game, and that your malware detection program is simply reacting to the way SteamDRM interracts with our executable file.

Or you should change a new antivirus tool.
