Adware in ImageMagick installer? (7.08-28-Q16-x64-dll)

Comodo Internet Security - CIS AV False Positive/Negative Detection Reporting
#1

I don’t know if this is a false positive or not. I’d greatly appreciate it if someone else could check the validity of this detection.

I’m trying to update my image processing software.

When I attempt to download the Windows installer ImageMagick-7.08-28-Q16-x64-dll.exe, whether via HTTP or FTP, CIS 11 blocks the download, complaining that it is infected with
Application.Win32.Adposhel.BS@487219106

The same thing happens when I try to download ImageMagick-7.0.8-28-Q8-x64-static.exe

See, for example, https://imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-7.0.8-28-Q16-x64-dll.exe

Comodo Internet Security Premium 11 v 11.0.0.6744 with DB v 30471 is installed under Windows 7 Professional, x64.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

Hi,

This is to inform you that false-positive has been fixed.
You can update to AV database Version <30476> of Comodo Internet Security Version<10.2.0.6526> and confirm it.

Best regards

I was indeed able to download and install ImageMagick.
