Cyanlabs Syn3 Updater - Download blocked by Chrome and Firefox

Hi all,

New member here and have just downloaded Syn3 Updater to update to Sync3 version. However, both Chrome and Firefox block the download file.

I manually allowed it anyway and scanned it on VirusTotal assuming false positive but it did get detected in 2 uncommon virus scanners. Assuming all is good of course, I just wanted to inform to see if its just me.

Thanks

Not much i can do about that, the installer is a standard NSIS installer, if thats being flagged then many other things are also flagged.

The problem is that the updater on some lists is considered a “hacking tool” just like the Ford IDS license hack.
Some of the AV/Malware will block it due to “reputation”

It’s a false flag. Whitelist the site and/or the download.

I’m not convinced that is why since it’s the installer that is flagged not the actual application. it seems to be a heuristics check matching something that NSIS uses.
