Sophos HitmanPro detected as spyware

Dark Inside over 3 years ago

Hello!

Yesterday, I had downloaded HitmanPro in my pc from the official website.

( https://secure2.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/hitmanpro.aspx)

But when I scanned it with Virustotal, It was detected as a spyware

(Trojan.PSW.Pycoon.g).

I'm so curious, is it really a spyware or just false positive?

Thank you

Hi Dark Inside,

This is only being reported by two of the many vendors listed there and is definitely a case of false-positive detection.
