Detections Virustotal

Hey Guys!

I am just back in touch with coding, after my vaettirbot was nerfed long time ago, i was not into botting anymore.
Now i just wrote a little title bot, which uses tonics or Spam Itmes (alc, sweets and spamparty).

As i thought to release a bet Version of the bot, i checked it with viros total and got four detections.

While my Bot doesn't contain any junkcode or malware i wanted to ask if there is a possibillity to avoid these or if they even matter.
Maybe these detections even show, that my code isnt harmful..

hope to get some answers on this,

greetings,
sharky

hey.
As far as i know skripts coded by autoit get recognized as virus, because of their signatures created by the autoitcompiler.
Many "bad-programs" are coded by autoit, so they added the "fingerprint" "coded by autoit" to their database and stated it as bad software.
This is only what i heard of.

Compiled AutoIt scripts can optionally be compressed with UPX. UPX is an open source software compression packer. It is used with many viruses (to make them smaller). Thats why you often will get a "false positive" warning.

Or like solo's already mentionend:

A malicious scripter got the AutoIt script engine recognized as a virus.

Hope that helps you, also you could release the source code, so anyone can compile it by himself and you have no problem with the "false positive" stuff.

Thanks for ur replies!
Now I'm not that sure anymore to release it. Thought about selling it for a few e/each but, no one will buy a bot with positives.

I'm not that into coding so i'm gonna just keep it i suppose..

Thank you though!
