RANSOMWARE Detected in FENCES 4.0 BETA

Trojan-GenAgent Detected in FENCES 4.0 BETA Installation Files

My RANSOMWARE scanner (ACRONIS Cyber Protect) detects a potential risk (Trojan.GenAgent) in the FENCES 4.0 BETA installation. 

Is there an immediate resolution? Do I need to wait for an update?

My downloaded installation file is: Fences4-fs-setup_sd.exe

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I wonder where you download that file from and when? Currently I can only download file from my Stardock Product link this file :

I don't see the "-fs-" there. Not sure if there is another version from somewhere else.

Thanks

alanpader...I've downloaded from your link...and scanned [Kaspersky] and it's clean.  Acronis is good at imaging...but I never use it's AV functionality.

It's a false-positive...;)

That look good, and I can safely say that it should be false positive.

Thank you,

Thank you all for your much appreciated support and guidance.

I will proceed with the installation of Fences 4.0 and also contact ACRONIS to report the false positive.
