BlackSun Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 The scanner hangs on a manual scan of a specific installer EXE file. File: nmap-7.92-setup.exe SHA256: B2400DB1A4AF9607FDD6EE50E0F5926D8B9272F89EEC93D4C30B56DC854AFB7A Website: https://nmap.org/ File source: https://nmap.org/dist/nmap-7.92-setup.exe Virustotal results: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b2400db1a4af9607fdd6ee50e0f5926d8b9272f89eec93d4c30b56dc854afb7a Virustotal lists 5 other scanners as unable to process the filetype as well, with Emsisoft being the only one listed with "confirmed timeout". Being unable to scan a file - now, not much imagination needed here as to why that could possibly be exploitable by malware creators. Even though the specific file here is clean, it's still unscannable by Emsisoft! Just figured I'd ping you on this to make you guys aware of it.

Elise Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Thank you for reporting this issue, I've been able to reproduce it and have sent the information to our development team. I can confirm this file is in fact clean and you can run the installer without any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPuterDude Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 @BlackSun The scanner does not hang on the installer. It just take a very long time to complete the scan and the installer contains over 40K of files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
