Pokefarmer.exe is a virus?!?!

[vorpalcheese]

Last night my AV software detected and quarantined Pokefarmer.exe because it thought it was a virus.

I can assure you, it isn't. Just a false positive.

false positive,whitelist it plz

Interesting that Microsoft thinks this is a virus though. Anybody running other AV software that also triggers on this?

 

[mcshifty]

It triggers on nearly all anti-virusses simply because niantic and others are submitting this to the anti-virus developers in hopes of preventing people from using the bot. You can safely whitelist it.
