Q. My virus scanner claims imapsync.exe is a virus/malware/trojan etc.
|
||
|
|
What the hell?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
R. Yes, I found the same. Two antivirus, Baidu and Jiangmin, report that
|
||
|
|
imapsync might have a trojan in it.
|
||
|
|
All others virus scanner say imapsync.exe is ok.
|
||
|
|
I've done this test on imapsync.exe release 1.727 on the two following
|
||
|
|
meta-virus-scanners:

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.
