SC client has been flagged as a virus
Answer

Hi Shay,
Can you please provide some additional information? What AV vendor and version are you using? What specific files were flagged as a virus? What version of Control do you have? Anything you can provide would be appreciated.

we are using Fortinet 6.0.4 with EMS 6.0.1 console this is the message we received:
Malware:W32/Siggen8.F065!tr found in C:\Windows\Temp\ScreenConnect\19.0.23665.7058\ScreenConnect.ClientSetup.exe by realtime scan

Thanks Shay. I've been in discussions with Fortinet about whitelisting our product with some success. I've found that AV partners have a greater success rate in responses from vendors and resolutions than we do as a product. Suggest you also submit a ticket with their support.

Hi Shay,
I heard back from Fortinet:
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We have already disabled the signature "W32/Siggen8.F065!tr" that is causing this false positive detection. It was disabled in AVDB v70.224 @ 2019-07-24 21:38:22 PST. Updating to the newest AV definition should resolve this.
