Hi, I downloaded burpsuite_community_windows-x86_v1_7_34.exe version today and was worried that Virustotal flags this program with 2 possible virus/adware. Any explanation on why Virustotal thinks that the program is infected with Virus. 2 engines detected this file SHA-256 51e7bfebdb6795a2170a9a9909be84b69635f94577d1b5074cc1f3c307e44684 File name burpsuite_community_windows-x86_v1_7_34.exe File size 86.51 MB Last analysis 2018-06-20 08:17:37 UTC VBA32 : BScope.Adware.Spigot Zillya: Downloader.Banload.Win32.85513 Thanks

Hi Jonas, Thanks for letting us know about this. These results are false alarms from the anti-virus software. It's not uncommon that anti-virus causes false alarms with security tools. Your hash matches the official release hash, and we know that is virus-free, so don't worry. I've reported the false positive to Zillya. Haven't with VBA32, so if you have time to send them a report, that would be appreciated. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
