Virus Warning After Installing Gimp 2.8

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

Hi,

Just letting you know that I have been trying to install Gimp 2.8 and after installation I scan the Gimp folder and CIS anti-virus show 5 virus warnings in folder c:\programme files\gimp 2\lib\gimp\2.0\python all files that give a warning are *.pyd.debug

They have been submitted via the CIS quarantine section.

This also happens with Gimp 2.8 portable.

Although I do not know (hence deleted Gimp from system) I think they might be false positives as this is a well known and popular program.

Best regards

Florin, please run the full Windows Installer as it contains like 30 alerts on .tmp executables during install.

Hi,zarniwoopz

This is to inform you that false-positive has been fixed.
You can update to AV database Version <12273> of Comodo Internet Security Version<5.10.228257.2253> and confirm it.
