Security Cloud (Free) detects VHO:Trojan-Spy.MSIL.Convagent.gen and deletes executable, OpenTip shows the same file is clean

[GEAK]

The title summarizes what is happening, I had to suspend the anti-virus scanning in order to keep the file on my hard drive long enough to upload to OpenTip. I also tried following the instructions for reporting a false positive but apparently if you use any of the free Kaspersky products, you're not allowed to submit false positives.

The file in question is DCS Updater Utility which I downloaded from this web site: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/134493-the-dcs-updater-gui-utility and apparently, Kaspersky isn't the only anti-virus which flags it as infected.

System Info:

• Windows 10 Pro Version: 21H2 build 19044.1806
• Kaspersky Security Cloud 21.3.10.391(i)
• Databases release date: 2022-07-06 10:33 PM
• DCS Updater Utility version: 7.1.2021.1 / 1.1.0.1042

Welcome to Kaspersky Community.

 

It is interesting to log-in KOTIP with Your MyKaspersky credentials, and then report.

 

Anyway, I've already reported the file, waiting for the final verdict...
