ESET Virus detected from RoyalTSInstaller_6.00.50609.0.msi (false positive?)

Installing the new 6.0 version and Eset detected virus within? suspect its a false positive?

downloaded from https://download.royalapps.com/RoyalTS/RoyalTSInstaller_6.00.50609.0.msi

Hi Kevin,

yes, this seems to be a false positive from ESET. You can find the MSI Virus Total report here:

yup, please explain the below…

This happened to me as well. The newest version of Royal TS is triggering an Atlas VPN warning. I upgraded to the latest version today, only to find my RoyalTS program files in the quarantine. I had to downgrade to get it working again. I cannot add any exclusions since I’m on an enterprise device.

Same for me ESET shows the following alerts :

Hi everyone,

we’ve received a number of tickets from various customers who have been notified that the latest version of Royal TS contains an unwanted file (Malware). This is a false-positive detection and, unfortunately, has to be addressed by ESET.

You can find the Virustotal scan reports for all Royal TS V6 builds here:

https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/royalts-v6

In the meantime, you can downgrade to the previous version and report this to ESET.

All previous versions of Royal TS, can be found here:

Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused!

best regards,

We just received the following message by ESET:

‘It is a false positive of our scanner and this issue will be fixed in the next update of detection engine.’
