Virus warning: "Suspicous behav." when installing BirdieSync
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2012 6:52 pm
Hello,
I know this it not new, but obviously it hasn't changed over the past years: Some virus scanners tend to warn or block BirdieSync.

In my case, the current version of Avira Antivir Premium detected "suspicious behaviour" of BirdieSyncSetup.exe - so not in a file scan (as virustotal.com), but when surveying what the running programm does. Unfortunately Antivir leaves me without further information what is meant by "suspicious".
Birdy, might this should still stem from a library you include, as mentionded in one of the older threads above?
Or does your installer anything uncommon you could prevent? I don't know, e.g. writing to uncommon directories or registry entries?
I don't think BirdieSync is malware, but there is a bad feeling to simple ignore this and click "OK"...
