Hello, I recently auto-updated using the donation edition feature.
Antivirus Essential is now registering this threat info:
Threat:
Win.Keylogger.Pwsx-10029486-0
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b0929eb2bb8355f04a42a0c7bfce34aa8a1632e96e6fc61a860d53c5527254e2/detection
Why is this and can I provide additional information?
Latest release of Donation Edition contains Win.Keylogger.Pwsx-10029486-0

Ah okay, thank you and sorry for failing to use search (slap on my own wrist for that)
Maybe a dumb question but do you happen to know how I can help report a false positive like this? I've used FFS for years now so I didn't really doubt it just find it "annoying" to have a pop up like this if you understand me :)
Again thanks for answering.

It depends on what your AV's vendor set up for such cases, but looks like it is "powered by ClamAV"

I haven't heard anything bad, or good, about ClamAV, but I have seen its name a handful of times. You could report the false positive to ClamAV. Personally, I recommend using Microsoft's built-in AV for Windows, nothing extra for macOS, and Linux ummmmmm...I don't recommend daily driving unless someone is able to figure it out on their own lol

I will look into it myself a bit then, I may remember to update with my findings about reaching out to ClamAV.It depends on what your AV's vendor set up for such cases, but looks like it is "powered by ClamAV"

And for your reasoning around Linux, it's very simple actually, it's the AV I run on my Linux based NAS, and I run it mainly because of it's ability to not "be windows looking at windows files". That's of course a short version, but never hurts having multiple eyes looking at important files in my opinion. :)
