      This is a false positive. This small executable is a small utility used in scripts to detect if a file exists. It’s a small code, we have the source and built it. The file did not change for many releases (same md5sum), and we never got a report on this. Scanned it with VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/bf641e32413277ed6867ffe4978ea958c7c57034c5a113cfe99a80b239aa0b5f/detection 62 scans are clean and those include the big name AVs: Avast, Microsoft, ESET, Symantec, Sophos, Avira, Kaspersky, McAfee, Panda, Trend Micro 2 flagged as a potential threat: Qihoo is a Chinese AV; CrowdStrike Falcon This categorizes it as a false positive. For the record, two items which are factors in the probability of false positives here: – This is a 32 bit app – It contains some amount of unused libraries (cgns, cfx io libraries, etc.) ANSYS 19.2 they will be migrating to build this file with a 64-bit utility so this pop up will no longer occur.
