app.dll flags in BitDefender

[jherzog51]

I've added every version of pdfstitcher to my exception list, but my latest version (1.1) was showing that it couldn't run with my Windows version anymore (23H2, 22631.5624). I downloaded 1.2, added to my BitDefender list, and can successfully download, however, on every launch, it creates a file in my appdata local temp that it believes is infected with a Tedy variant.

C:\Users\Jessica\AppData\Local\Temp\onefile_1936_133981229422107963\app.dll is infected with Gen:Variant.Tedy.790445

My question is: Does anyone else have problems here? Having used this program for years successfully, I'm open to believing my AV is just a bit over-precautious

Hi, thanks for posting this here! Someone else reported the same thing and I submitted a request to BitDefender to check for false positives. They were very responsive and said "The file is clean and detection should be removed in the next couple of updates." That was only 6 days ago, so hopefully a BitDefender update should take care of this soon. I'll leave the issue open in case it doesn't resolve though.

This also happens in McAfee. Shows as a threat name: hti!7a7829d5

I’ve checked on VirusTotal.com that analyses files across different AV software and it’s flagged on others as a Teddy Trojan

Thanks for the report! I just uploaded it to VirusTotal and it looks like it's getting flagged by quite a few (though oddly enough, it thinks McAfee doesn't). I'll submit some more requests, but unfortunately there's not a lot I can do from my end.
