CumulusMX and Bitdefender

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

CumulusMX and Bitdefender

Post by mimo57 »

Hello,
I used until now, Bitdefender Total security 2017 on my PC or CumulusMX turns 24/24.
Since my move to BTS version 2018, CumulusMX.exe is detected as a malware, and quarantined.
I made a report to support Bitdefender for analysis.
Have you ever encountered this problem?

Bonjour de Montville!

It's not uncommon for antivirus software to dumbly flag software as having a virus when it doesn't. I googled for the supposed 'virus' and a few other programs have been flagged recently by bitdefender, something to do with a virus database update.

It should possible to add MX to a whitelist.

Just to be clear, for the benefit of anyone finding this thread: There are no viruses in Cumulus as distributed by me

my guess as to why it may be flagged is the web socket being opened.
Just a guess

Hello,
I had no doubt that CumulusMX was clean.
It was just to get back the info.
PS: A report to the bitdefender support was made for a "false positive" I expect them to return.
