[ichito]

Nieco zapomnieliśmy o programie, a on się rozwija i przygotowuje do wydania wersji stabilnej. Poniżej lista zmian z ostatniego miesiąca (kolejność wsteczna)

Beta Announcments
FALSE POSITIVE REPORTS
The following vendors are reporting false positives on the WinPrivacy installer:

Avira - ADWARE/InstallRex.Gen, we have submitted many false positive reports to them to no avail
DrWeb - Tool.NetFilter.313, At first they admitted their false positive, then they changed their mind
Jiangmin - AdWare/MuliPlug.ait. I could not find a way of submitting a false positive report
NANO-Antivirus - Riskware.Win32.NetFilter.dgkdox. No response to false positive reports
Sophos - InstallRex, I spoke with their support department on the phone today and they are performing additional testing in order to make a determination

Other venders such as Kaspersky, Norton, Avast, Fortinet, McAfee and others quickly fixed their false positives upon our false positive report submissions.
You can see the latest report on Virus Total.
