Title: HFS showing as malware in antivirus
Post by: sufband on December 15, 2020, 09:38:55 AM

Hello,

It looks like HFS is being detected as malware in certain antivirus software.
Yesterday I got a few warnings from Malwarebytes that it is now malware and was quarantined.

I trust HFS as software as it is simple and a great piece of software - but does anyone know why this is showing for me as malware.
Other AV software shows this as well according to VirusTotal.

Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

This is just a guess, but probably because it opens a port for listening.
