LIST OF KNOWN ISSUES IN FREEDOS 1.3 RC4 * Some antivirus programs incorrectly "identify" a virus in the FreeDOS distribution. For example, G-Data suspects a virus in diskscan or the kernel. >> The Generic.Trojan.Agent type indicates that the antivirus software >> detected some weird behavior for normal software. In this case, >> Diskscan access the hard drive at a low level. Which it's supposed to. >> >> You will likely find a similar generic false positive on other disk >> tools in FreeDOS. Notably the Kernel and SYS will likely give similar >> false positives. >> >> For example, we used to have a note on the website about "Bloodhound" >> virus being false detected in the kernel - but "Bloodhound" was a >> heuristic antivirus detection algorithm that found operating >> system-like behavior in the FreeDOS kernel. Antivirus software makers >> assume that most people don't download operating system programs like >> DOS these days, so their automated scanning sometimes gives these >> false positives. This is not really an issue in FreeDOS, and will not be fixed. * For other known issues in FreeDOS 1.3 RC4, see the list of blocking issues for FreeDOS 1.3, in the wiki: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Releases/1.3/Issues
