qwebp.dll malware Variant.Adware.Kazy.795337

Hi there,

today we received info from one of our customer about this malware detection:

Gen:Variant.Adware.Kazy.795337

It's only inside the qwebp.dll file attached to our project by qtdeploy process.

We're building Qt (5.13.2.0) from the source and the same issue is reported on the same DLL no matter where it was built:

When I scanned the older version (5.13.0.0) everything is ok:

Any idea what can cause this? Can anyone else please try to scan this file?

Thanks

Edit:
It's compiled with latest VS2019 in 32-bit . It seems that VS2017 doesn't do that.

Hi,

It might be a false positive. You should contact them to see what it turns out to be.

I believe it is a false positive. We already scanned all our build machines with the very same result. Only this one file is identified as a threat.

But who you think to contact? These AV companies?

Thanks

Yeah, these are the only ones that can update their whitelists.
