First, y'all using Windows Defender - just want you to know that's like wearing a mesh screen as a condom.
In this case though, I'm getting a failure with quite a few scanners. For me it started happening after the first update after the log format changed - I think it was some months back with the new waypoints feature?
Anyway I uploaded LbmlUpdater.exe to
VirusTotal, which usually helps determine false positives. It fails on quite a lot of scanners. However, the detection on most of them is basically generic malware, so it's possible that it's just due to behavioral traits of the software.
I am also getting malware notices on both of Ido's web sites (mininglog.com and I can't recall the other) - but also could be behavioral heuristics. Most scanners these days err on the side of caution.
I will say that I've met and talked to Ido and he seems like a pretty standup guy, and he has a long standing reputation in the community, so take all of this how you will. I personally have still been using it, and Ido hasn't cleaned out my bank account yet (he probably saw how much was in it and felt bad). He might be using my spare CPU cycles to mine crypto though, I have no idea.
