GotoMeeting Opener.exe antivirus false positive

Hello.

 

When I was recently invited to a GotoMeeting I was prompted to download a GotoMeeting Opener.exe file.  As part of security best-practices I upload any executable file even from reputable sources to either viruscan.jotti.org or virustotal.com.

 

When I uploaded the GotoMeeting Opener to VirusTotal, 2/72 antivirus engines report the program is infected:  Antiy-AVL reports it is infected by Trojan/Win32.Tiggre, and CyLance reports it is unsafe.

 

Here is a permalink to the VirusTotal results:

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f37bfb2d2a12fbfbce988c1f0a7722e9a20e40d1b8a0a942a57a0490ed353356/detection

 

Assuming this is a false-positive detection, can somebody from the company please report this to the 2 antivirus vendors in question?  You should be able to reproduce this problem by uploading your own software to virustotal.com.

 

Thank you.

    Hello,

    We believe that Cyclance is using a variation of the Windows executable format that may not be the industry standard, and thus causing this confusion.  The hash of our signed GoTo Opener exe should only change every 6 months or so.

     

    What I would suggest doing is filing a report with Cyclance support to see what can be done from their side of things.
