After running for a while, my antivirus has blocked the mini installer files as well. I don't know about the appspot link but the mini installer came from the google APIs.

Could you please confirm is this issue is seen only with chromium browser? How about chrome market builds?  Re routing to services team for further triage.

Could some one look in to this issue?

Thanks!

+mjcastner -- let's discuss this offline.

This issue only occurs with Chromium, which is the browser I want to use. Google Chrome Stable, Beta, Dev and Canary have no issues when it comes to antivirus.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding requester "brajkumar@chromium.org" to the cc list and removing "Needs-Feedback" label.

I am not sure but apparently this is an issue on antivirus' part because the latest chromium scan on the old virus total returns 1 detection only, and that scan had the same hash and happened after my scan.

Just to clarify, I still cannot install chromium even after updating my antivirus. It is still detected. If I use the mini installer, before chrome.exe is detected as malware, I get this message from AV:
Bitdefender moved a threat to quarantine. File name: c:\users\ispl0it3r\appdata\local\temp\scoped_dir11452_2616\d11452_10000\default\cache\index. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.

Thanks for the detailed analysis.
Please know that I am working with VirusTotal to resolve this but since it has third-party dependencies, it is somewhat complicated and slow.

The number of false positives have dropped from 12 to 1. See https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/7cb235d530c73c3076c7a08f9aa6be77e5703288683fc7dba0a148209c69e4ae/analysis/

My antivirus is updating, hopefully fixing the problem. It may still be an issue to fix the false positive from CAT-QuickHeal but if the antivirus companies have fixed it themselves, then it is in their hands, not yours.

All cleaned up: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/7cb235d530c73c3076c7a08f9aa6be77e5703288683fc7dba0a148209c69e4ae/analysis/

Marking as Fixed.

Thank you very much.
