Right Folks,

I'm getting fed up with dealing with this...

VirusTotal recently added a new detection engine called Sangfor Engine Zero which is some Chinese company that for some reason detects a "virus/malware" in about 90% of stuff.

THESE ARE ALWAYS FALSE POSITIVES.

For example look at this...here is my genuine Elementor Pro downloaded directly from the Elementor site....

Another example, go to GitHub and download the Lottie Web Source Code Zip file (which is from AirBnB for fricks sake) and check that VT too and you will see the same thing (thanks to @Mscv50 for that one).


So stop freaking out people and claiming that any nulled stuff from @Babak @TassieNZ @CyberDeviL @NullMaster has viruses as this simply is not the case!!!!

You will find the same source code "lottie" from github in Elementor Pro :

Yep I'd seen that
 
I almost rejected a code from developer due to this. My developer send me code in rar file and when I scanned it with virustotal it gave the same error. The developer told me he is using icons from github and the rest he developed from scratch. Certainly wasted my 3-4 hours

Believe me, it's driving us crazy here on the forum. 90% of scans come back positive! :)
 
I am getting this in all files, i test some old files downloaded from here as well. This is Divi theme, i tested both old and new. I am not able to find the file in which they are detecting this. can someone check?

wow I am glad I cam across this thread, literally just uploaded first file to vt and there it was in black and white - one engine detected this file - Sangfor Engine Zero. I will ingore it from now on I think.

Should be stickied to every board in cases someone misses this

sometimes js even XML file consider as virus or malware it just a false postive

Edit: just saw the official website https://www.sangfor.com/innovations/engine-zero.html they claim it was AI engine with machine learning so it basically learning things on Virustotal do how to detect the virus

if you guys don't know about virustotal is an online classroom for antivirus so they can use the data to find virus more effieclty and improve their product

May be it's using Signature based detection so it's giving false positive. Here in our forum Null Masters edit code to activate the licence/plugin.

No need to worry. This is a trusted community.
