AVG reports Wineskin dlls as malware, whereas the editor claims the action as false positives!

Viruses & Threats

Hi,

AVG Antivirus shows this message for 162 files:
"We've put sti.dIl in Quarantine because it was infected with malware:
Win32:SuspBehav-B [Heur]."
and this as I begin the creation of a new blank wrapper using the latest Wineskin V1.8.4 CX64Bit engine (installed via Brew) on macOS.

I contacted the publisher about this and got this response:

"You need to contact your Antivirus/Anti-malware vendor to report these as false positives.
This started once wine moved to using Mingw-gcc to compile PE binaries."

Since I couldn't find any way to notify the AVG team directly, I posted the issue here.

Hi,

Here is the information you requested:
1. Operating system installed in my device: macOS Monterey Version 12.7.3

Finally, I would like to point out that since your reply I can't access the link for this conversion from my AVG account. The site always redirects me to the "WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK" message, even from another browser!
In order to reply to you here now, I had to create another AVG account !!

Getting back to our initial problem, I hope you'll be able to tell me what to do about the virus found in the dlls.
