Bitdefender and ImageGlass

[kayzzen01]

System information:

• Windows OS version: Windows 10 64 Bits
• ImageGlass version: 5.1.5.20 Portable
• Bitdefender Total Security 2018 Build 22.0.21.297

Describe the bug:

Today I downloaded ImageGlass to test and my antivirus (Bitdefender) detected the program as a virus. Is there a process that ImageGlass runs for this problem to occur?
I believe this is a false positive.

Expected behavior:

Opening of the program

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open ImageGlass.exe

Screenshots:

Additional context:

I am sending the program to Bitdefender to analyze and correct if it is a false positive.

Best regards !

Thank you for posting. Note that 3 of the files are xml/log, i.e. plain text files, not typical virus containers. Also note that ImageGlass.exe, the main program, wasn't identified as a problem!

The first thing that ImageGlass does on startup is invoke igcmd.exe to check to see if a newer version is available.

Bitdefender is not the best/smartest program. Quite certain these are all false positives!
Sorry you are having difficulties!
