Zemana AntiMalware says: Ventoy 1.0.74 has Trojan/Win32:HighScore.A!2!98

But "everyone else" says that it's clean, so I sent an email to: [email protected] :

Dear Zemana,

(1) The "contact" link in the program leads to inactive page:
https://help.zemana.com/home?q=p&scanCount=1&detectionCount=16&cleanCount=2496

(2) False detection of Ventoy 1.0.74 as Trojan/Win32:HighScore.A!2!98
Avast and MalwareBytes say clean
VirusTotal all undetected:

(Strange. Shouldn't these match?)

Please review & correct.

Interesting, right-click scan the file by Zemana says that the zip and Ventoy2Disk.exe 1.0.73 are clean, but when running the exe, the Zemana blocks it and places it in Quarantine. So, presumably it must be something that Ventoy does that it doesn't like.

Now I'm confused. I rebooted and tried the old 1.0.19 that I had and it opened and ran without problem, so I then tried opening 1.0.74 and it opened and ran.

Curious, I tried running Ventoy 1.0.74 again but this time Zemana blocked it. I tried with and without Avast Free Antivius active in case there was some interaction with Zemana Anti-Malware but both failed.

Whatever happened. I'm good for now.
