What is PUA.Win32.Packer.PrivateExeProte-7 ?

[peterflagler]

this "unwanted program" was detected in the VLC download? Why is it in the exe and is it malware?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Probably malware you downloaded from a fake VLC site.

I got it at https://www.videolan.org/ , which you're saying is a fake VLC site.

I submitted vlc-2.1.3-win32 from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html to 22 different malware scanners. and ClamAV reported PUA.Win32.Packer.PrivateExeProte-7 ; why does VLC include this in their software?

[Lotesdelere]

Why do you want to trust only one of the scans and not the 21 other ones ?

Why haven't you searched for "PUA.Win32.Packer.PrivateExeProte-7" ?
Because if you had, you would have easily found this:

To sum it up, this is a false positive.
