After i started the FTB Launcher today i got asked to install the newest Version. But after that my VScanner told me there is "FileRepMalware [PUP] in FTB_Launcher.exe"

Well. Avast tells me, Virustotal too. Not sure if this is a false positive.

McAfee-GW-Edition says "BehavesLike.Win32.Suspicious-JAR.wc"

So, whats so suspicious in the jar?

any help is welcome ;)

Those companies should tell what is the problem. Not just throw tantrums to users displays. Those garbage messages gives zero hints which features should be rewritten.

Don't get me wrong. I don't blame anyone. After i send the file to Avast this Problem was fixed within Minutes. Yeah, i understand that it would be more important to you to understand why their Scan Method produced a false positive.
However. I don't think we ever get an answer on that.

It wasn't my intention to make any trouble.
