nrfconnect-setup-2.6.0.exe contains a virus

[isak]

Hi,

Downloaded the nrfconnect-setup-2.6.0.exe file.

Scanned it with www.virustotal.com, and it detected a W32/GenBl.55BA2A95!Olympus virus.

Can you please check it up.

Thanks, Isak.

Hi,

Any news?

It prevents me from installing the application.

Thanks, Isak.

Hi Isak,

This has been reported as a false positive a while back. We will try to report this issue again to Cyren. As you can see from the virustotal page, only one antivirus program marked it  as having a virus. There is no virus in the nRF Connect for Desktop application.

Kind Regards,

Bjørn

Report this false positive to your AV vendor support.

The more users complain, the higher the chance they will actually fix this issue in the virus scanner signatures.

nRF Connect v2.6.0 & v2.6.1 should now pass all virus scans on virustotal.com without any issues.
