False positive about geekstogo.com (OldTimer tools)

Hello,

OldTimer is a very well-known developer of tools to scan and fix infected machines: OTL.exe, OTS.exe, OTA.exe, OTM.exe.

Last week, WebGuard was blocking access to OTL.exe ( http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.exe ) as "malware" from a "known fraudulent website".



I made two requests to http://analysis.avira.com/samples/index.php .... which today are still "Pending ....." (#386489 and #386934).


Since last saturday, WebGuard blocks access to OTS.exe (link: http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTS.exe, same detection: "malware" from a "known fraudulent website").



I also reported a "False positive suspicion", and today Avira's analysts wrote me "OTS.exe" is clean, but WebGuard still blocks access to the download.

I wrote a email yesterday, but ... no answer.


Are you sure geekstogo.com is a suspicious website hosting malware ?
Could you unlock all the downloads from http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com ?

Cheers.

Hi,
I don't receive any detections, so this could mean that they were removed. Please update Avira and try again.

Hello,

Submission #390182, File ID: 25485974

Last submission: #391838, No answer

But, yes, we all know now that OTS.exe is CLEAN.


The problem is that the download URL: http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTS.exe is blacklisted by WebGuard.



Cheers.

Hi,
When I access this website http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com it gives me only a "coming soon" message. I can't guess what are the download links that are hosted on this website.

I will also ask internally about OTM.exe.
