RE: RPN-PRGM: New Windows console application emulating HP calculators
Mmmm... This is unpleasant and frustrating...

I sent an email to the virus detection companies that gave a false positive report on my RPN.exe file. This is a copy of such an email:

Aacini email Wrote:Good morning. I have written a program for Windows in assembly language that the Virus Total page results reported as "malicious" by several virus detecting engines, including the yours. You may review the Virus Total results page at:

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c733.../detection

This is a summary of such a report:

SecureAge APEX: Malicious
Cybereason: Malicious.989425
Cylance: Unsafe
Elastic: Malicious (high Confidence)
Sangfor Engine Zero: Malware
BitDefender Theta: Genn:NN.ZefaxF.34760.amW@aGWL7Uf
Cynet: Malicious (score: 100)
Microsoft: Program:Win32/Wacapew.C!ml

The people at Virus Total gave me your email and indicated me that I ask you to include my RPN.exe file in your virus exclusion list, so the false positive report of my program be eliminated. However, I think there is a simpler and better solution of this problem for both you and me.

If you indicate me wich segment of my code is the one that your engine detects as possible threat, I could modify it, because the source code is written in assembly language. In this way, you have not to modify your list for this program nor for any other future program I could write.

I really appreciate any action you may take in order to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

So I have to wait until such companies answer my request... However, as one people at VirusTotal said: "1/60 and even 5/60 doesn’t automatically mean “Bad”, and 0/60 doesn't always mean good". You may use my RPN.exe program anyway if you trust me. If you want a reason to trust me, I could give you a pair:

- I invite you to read my history at https://apaacini.com
- I have written many auxiliary .EXE programs for Windows written in assembly language and published them at https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3428 and other sites since 8 years ago at least. There are about 20 .EXE files in that site that have been downloaded at least 3250 times. No one of the users of that site have reported a single problem with my .exe programs...
