Jellyfin Virustotal false positives? - Harry_DuBoi - 2023-07-06
Hello I'm moving to Jellyfin since I'm so done with Plex... Anyway I always malware scan any files from "unknown publishers" (aka unsigned) so before I ran the latest Jellyfin server for windows I ran it through Virustotal and 2 vendors say there is a trojan. Now i'm 99% sure these are false positives since I have never even heard of these companies but I thought I would ask you guys.
Image attached the file is "installer/jellyfin_10.8.10_windows-x64.exe" from "https://repo.jellyfin.org/releases/server/windows/stable/"
Thanks.

3/42 on virustotal is basically always a false positive. If you get real malware it usually lights up like a Christmas tree.
In any case, you're safe here. As long as the executable came from the official repository, it's a false positive. If we had an actual infected installer I think the community would be hearing about it very quickly, and that's not a new installer.

Ok that makes sense, Thank you Skribe.
