Avast antivirus flags the Updater 1.3.0 as malware and quarantines it. Malwarebytes flags it as well.
Here's the link to Virustotal with the scan:

I really hope there is no virus.
I use McAfee my self and it has not reported anything.
I use NSIS for the installer, always have. I hope i can trust the site i downloaded it from. https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download
I'm not sure how i could test this any other way :(

As far as I can tell it looks like false positives but I have reverted the main download back to 1.2.10 for now. I'll submit the new 1.3.0 as a false positive so some of the larger AV's to have them check it out.

This happens sometimes and I've had to do it before.

I hope its quick as 1.2.10 is not supported anymore.

By the way there is already a new version coming later today as i found a bug for new users.

This should be cleared up soon I hope. Just received a reply from AVG:


I have also submitted it to Avast (no word from them yet) and Microsoft and so far things are looking good there.

Avast, AVG and Microsoft Defender have all came back saying the file is clean and they will update their signatures. I have put version 1.3.0 back.

This is certainly a false positive and like I said those three have updated their definitions and no longer alert on eq2map

There are still a few more to contact but going to wait a little bit to see if the other AVs follow suit.

jnils released 1.3.1 of the eq2map updater and after submitting the exe to Microsoft first it seems to have helped.

avast still sees the updater as a virus as of 130 est on december 1st. tried doing an exception but that didnt work. keep getting an error message that the file cant be found.

avast still thinks the updater is a virus

If you follow the link you see avast clears the file.

it does not clear it. it is still in quarantine every time i try to download and install. i get a bunch of empty boxes when i try to load eq2 maps.

If its up to date it should clear it.
Else i have no clue how to solve it, i don't use Avast.
