no problem anymore, separating currently problematic antivirus engines from those who once where problematic but aren't anymore today.Īs it is now, someone who reads the wiki at first sight might mistakenly think that all listed antivirus engines find qTox to be suspicious, which is not the case and not good marketing for qTox, at all.īy the way: As of yesterday it is only 2 antivirus engines who report the W64installer to be malicious, since one of those 3 seems to have reacted to my email that I wrote to them. Then I made it clear in the wiki, that only those 3 antiviruses and only this one qTox version is problematic, while all those other entries listed in the wiki are only for historic reasons, i.e.
Qtox installer troubleshoot 64 Bit#
The result was, that only 3 of 54 antivirus engines report only one version (Windows 64 bit installer) to be infected and that all other 51 antivirus engines report all versions of qTox to be perfectly clean.

And I virus scanned all 4 windows versions, all ~30 GNU/Linux versions and the OSX versions to see what the current state is and posted the result in the wiki. Our former hosting was Amazon AWS, in case you're experience any difference in performance. uTox is hosted on a Bluehost VPS since we found ourselves some promo codes here.

So, IMHO, a young an upcoming project such as qTox, should care about those antivirus engines to stop creating false positives, provided that the goal of qTox is to gain a big user base.Įxactly. Tox is a Free Software project whose goal is to free users from the grip of Proprietary instant messengers. So as long as qTox is reported by some antivirus to be malicious, qTox has "the problem", not the antivirus (they don't care all too much), no matter if the technical fault is the other way around. And from the view of a developer you might be perfectly right in what you say.īut when you look at the problem from the view of a marketing manager, someone can argue that the problem is with qTox and not with antiviruses and that the qTox project is not done with it by just adding problematic antivirus engines to some list! qTox is playing in the security business (yes, even a non-profit free software project is participating in a market when it comes to attract users) where trust is the currency. I understand your standpoint it is the view of a developer. Sorry, those changes didn't seem that beneficial, so I've reverted them.īut nevertheless most users globally use antivirus software and think that it is something good for them, fully trusting their antivirus software, be it private individuals or corporate users. + adding a maintenance hurdle, where people would be made to think that effort for something more than just adding antivirus to the list would be required. And you mentioned that you've reported that to antivirus makers. + rewording of virus scanner report, that someone can just read at source. You've reworded a few sentences a bit, and you've linked to logs in which I half-jokingly pointed out some stuff that can cause antivirus to "think" that qTox is bad. The problem is with antiviruses, not with qTox. In any case my edits contained a lot of additional information for users, who want to learn about qTox' antivirus issues.Įrr. Not by much, and it's preferable to limit that as much as possible – simply add a particular antivirus to the list, and be done with it.

Until this happens - for the sake of generating trustworthiness for new users - this topic will occupy resources of qTox. No matter which one you pick, it won't offer all the protection you need, and it is going to offer false-positives. Sad truth is that antiviruses are simply crappy. I'll unfortunately need to build my own interpreters for any higher version of python once I have a decent C/++ IDE.In general, as along as qTox is being recognized to contain malware by antivirus engines, I guess that this topic will need maintenance, indeed. Though tbh I can already do that for my software even without a squashfs environment, since python34 (Anaconda 2.3.0) runs on just about everything aside from 32bit macs. I'm not sure if they've even fixed disabling UDP, but it was possible for malicious individuals to obtain someone's IP through it (unlike utox)īut utox comes with it's own issues, such as 1-sided calling I've had to constantly kill my client to fix.īut anyways, I was just wanting to know so I could potentially build a proper appimage ) I like utox better because the qtox devs don't care as much for security That's why my friends couldn't run my appimage. Yeah utox depends on a few system-specific libraries which I can't simply pack and expect to work on other systems That doesn't really help me with utox unfortunately =3=

Ah, so minetest is already portable when you build it
