  9. Q. My virus scanner claims imapsync.exe is a virus/malware/trojan etc.
  10. What the hell?
  11. R1. Yes, I find the same sometimes with few antivirus, some report that
  12. imapsync might have a trojan in it.
  13. Most virus scanners say imapsync.exe and is ok.
  14. I've done this test on imapsync.exe releases
  15. 1.977, 1.945, 1.836 on the two following
  16. meta-virus-scanners:
  17. https://www.virustotal.com/
  18. https://www.metadefender.com/
  19. R2. Explanation:
  20. It may come from the fact that imapsync checks whether there is a
  21. new release available at http://imapsync.lamiral.info/VERSION
  22. It's explained here:
  23. https://imapsync.lamiral.info/#NUMBERS
  24. Any other explanation is welcome!
  25. R3. There is no virus alerts reported for the Perl script imapsync
  26. itself. The binary imapsync.exe is just a compiled version of
  27. the script imapsync, with perl interpreter itself and all modules
  28. needed by imapsync in order to make imapsync.exe a standalone software.
  29. R4. Using online meta-virus-scanners
