Hello,

I'd like to use TreeCopy 1.11, a simple software to copy empty folder trees, but virustotal.com - please see images in attachment - found malware inside the files .zip and .exe that can be downloaded from the official site, softpedia.com etc.

hxxp://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/utility/treecopy/download.shtml

self-extracting file, detected by VBA32
BScope.Backdoor.Pigeon
-------
zip file, detected by VBA32 and Zillya
BScope.Backdoor.Pigeon
Trojan.Genome.Win32.87762

The creator of TreeCopy say the two files are clean. Zillya antivirus replied that they are probably false positives.
Thank you

So what exactly are you asking us for help with here.

If you believe these detections are false positives, then install it. If you think the detections are valid, then don't install it.

That is your decision to make, we are not in any position to add anything to what you already know.

As this matter does not relate to the removal of an infection from your computer ....
