Virus report

[Küsters, Ulrich]

Dear LyX developers,

I downloaded the current Lyx version from https://lyx.mirror.garr.it/bin/2.4.2/LyX-242-Installer-1-x64.exe.

Virustotal.com reports the virus “W32.AIDetectMalWare” in the uploaded Lyx-file diagnosed by the rather unknown virus scanner “Bkav Pro”). Such problems did not occur with previous versions of Lyx.

The university computer center advised me to have the current Lyx exe analyzed with the Free Automated Malware Analysis https://hybrid-analysis.com under a Windows 11 64-bit sandbox. The result was “malicious” with a threat score of 85/100, so there seems to be a serious problem, whereas prevous Lxy versions had no problems.

What can be done?

Regards,
   Ulrich
