Kaspersky Detects Program as "Malicious" After Extracting about alferd-spritesheet-unpacker HOT 3 OPEN

It's a false positive, but then I guess I would say that.

This is the first time I've had this issue reported. The code in question is here (extracting the sprites): Alferd-Spritesheet-Unpacker/ASU/UI/MainForm.cs in method ExportUnpackers. It does a few things Kaspersky might not like:

• deletes temp files
• starts another application (NConvert.exe)
• starts an instance of windows explorer

I'm not sure how to prove it's a false positive unless someone takes the time to review:

Alferd-Spritesheet-Unpacker/ASU/UI/MainForm.cs

from alferd-spritesheet-unpacker.

That's a good suggestion, thanks @anaseskyrider, VirusTotal.com seems cool.

ASU_17.zip has just been scanned by 56 anti virus applications and 0 detected any problems:
VirusTotal.com antivirus scan results for ASU_17.zip

I think that's confirmed. Sweet.

I suggest using a website called "Virustotal.com", and using that to scan individual files, or compressed folders. So if you're not sure if it's safe, what the website does is lets you upload a file (or a compressed folder) and then it'll scan it with like 50+ different virus and malware scanners. So you can eliminate whether or not it's a false-positive, since different programs may catch something that your current one didn't. I use AVG, and I've scanned files that AVG said were okay, but a ton of different scanners said were bad.
