AntiVirus issue with rest_service on 1.0.0.4/5.

[admin]

Hi all,

There have been some reports about anti-virus systems removing the rest_service.exe file from the FFAStrans\Processors folder.
If you have such problems and you're running 1.0.0+ then please download the attached package and copy to the Processors folder.
If you use the 32 bit version, apply the _x86 file but rename it to rest_service.exe.

Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience!

Hi,

Palo Alto Networks is still deleting this rest_service.exe.

Flags it under "Generic ml".

Thank you,

HI,

Never heard of Palo Alto Networks but in general it's very difficult to make sure all possible AVs out there behaves properly without any allergic reaction to harmless applications. I recommend you either make an exception or submit a sample to the AV vendor of your choice.

False positives are NOT FFAStrans bugs, but unfortunately it becomes our problem

Steinar,

I got my security team to whitelist the rest_service.exe, working fine now!

Thank you!
