Hey just a heads up. Avast pointed the dolphin64.exe as having a this type of malware in it, and as something that never happened before, figured it was worth pointing it out.

Not sure if it is a mistake so can someone reliably check it please?

As far as I know we don't distribute a file called Dolphin64.exe. From where did you download it?

Reopening the thread. We don't know for sure if they downloaded it from somewhere else, maybe they just misstated the name of the executable.

There is a 9939 compiled build on emucr. Maybe someone want to check it.

Sorry I meant simply Dolphin.exe
I did get it from the main site, downloaded a previous version from around 2 days ago and it was fine. This was an odd occasion and since the last post here was before this new one got released I figured I'd warn people.
The executable is sitting in the quarantine and since i'm very scared of things like this I don't want to mess with it.

It's just a false positive. Dolphin does a lot of things that virus scanner's heuristics pick up as bad behavior when we legitimately have a reason for it. Send them a sample and they'll remove the quarantine. If you download a newer build it's not likely to hit their heuristic either though.

I don't think we do all that much that virus scanners would dislike... It's probably just the automatic updater again.

yep. AV systems hate self contained updaters as it's literally the same thing that malware often does.

Well that does clarify things. Sounds to be just that then, a false positive, likely since that version modified the updater and av picked up as having bad behavior, and since no one else experienced anything too weird i think it's ok.
Thanks for the help and clarification everyone.
