VirusTotal flagging 7tt

Jeffrey T 4 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 4 years ago 1

VirusTotal reporting 1/72 scanners reporting a virus.  My work IT just had a little panic because they scanned my machine and VirusTotal flagged 7tt as a virus. Can you look into possibly updating 7tt so it passes VirusTotal? That's what my work uses so that's what I need to come up 100% clean.

Thanks

That’s a false positive detection. False positives are unfortunately common for 7+ Taskbar Tweaker. Please see the FAQ here and this blog post.

I'm afraid that there's not much that I can do. From my experience, updating the tweaker only makes things worse, since new files are falsely detected by many antiviruses until they whitelist the new version.

You can try to contact the relevant company, SecureAge, and ask them to remove the false detection.
