VirusTotal Scan is RWRS Malware?

Post by CrazyTeeka »

RWRS by Waqas Ali. Safe or Malware?
The 17 hits on VirusTotal has me a little concerned.
Even though it looks useful I don't want to risk infecting my system, or fall victim to ransomware.

Waqas Ali is a forum member at HDD Guru.

Can you provide a link to RWRS?

I notice that Kaspersky says that the file is clean. That makes me feel that the others are false positives.

RWRS 1.0.2.15.7z... https://filebin.net/ff4vfos9b1qmjukv
Password: 12345

Note: This version doesn't work because it's not digitally signed. Windows is fussy about that.

Hey hi, please verify RWRS by running it through reputable antivirus programs or contacting the developer for clarity on the 17 hits on VirusTotal.

Got RWRS 1.0.2.12 working on another PC running Windows 7. Will pull out that drive and do a virus scan to see if anything bad is there. RWRS looks interesting though.

Well bitdefender doesn't find anything that looks like malware.
