🙏 I am so grateful that this software exists. But today i did a Malwarebytes scan & it detected & then deleted one .exe file from CompressO

Hey, i am not an A-hole that is trying to throw shit at this great free opensource software. but i am just sharing what i found. sharing it here, so that the makers can clear this false positive situation. 🙏🙂

This is the Error Log
File: 1
Malware.AI.4148444773, C:\USERS\FATMAN\APPDATA\LOCAL\COMPRESSO\COMPRESSO_GIFSKI.EXE, Quarantined, 1000000, 0, 1.0.112654, 1793D7412B9E0019F7443E65, dds, 03983354, 70E8E0DF837C573750B1C2E654EF3DD7, 30C0AD69324C0C3D4D71670BE39D34EB626BF15F3A39AB64DF874579380298AB

By the way, the file got deleted by Malwarebytes. but the software is still working fine, i tested it on a video. i don't know, what this COMPRESSO_GIFSKI.EXE did, because it didn't affect the video compression process. maybe it's something else. i don't know!

thankyou!

So, CompressO ships with pre-built executable binaries of the programs that is required for processing video(mp4, webm, etc.), image(png, jpeg, gif, etc.) etc. The compresso_gifski.exe in this case is for gifski is a program to process the gifs inside compresso. all the binaries are available on respective software's websites.
