Quote from: j_p_higgins on August 19, 2025, 04:01:01 AMAsciiget is a a 42kb utility that is used to get a file name, it is not a virus. The full source code for it is here:
https://github.com/ComposersDesktop/CDP8/blob/11cdcb4a6742f7ada1ded43e436a77a94d7c4ee4/dev/standnew/asciiget.c

I'm reading the code, so I'm asking how it is possible that it is detected as a trojan virus by some AV softwares. Apparently there is no internet logic in that code, so am I crazy? I'm very skeptical in general so I'm not going to install this until a solution has been found.

Malwarebytes detects it as a trojan for instance, same for microsoft defender (those are the 2 I scan with usually)
