AutoHotkey Community

👍 Nice. Will play around with it later. Agree. Great post by malcev. I wish someone would compile it and rename AutoIt to AutoHotkey though Maybe you are somewhat joking (as you are a very experienced user), but for those that might not realize it, they can take or use the GitHub source as a refere...

amateur+ We can't assume that the OP's AutoHotkey files are legitimate, not tampered with, or the same as the genuine files from GitHub and this website. From the OPs description, his alerts center around his usage of AutoHotkey. Have the AutoHotkey files (AutoHotkey.exe, Ahk2exe, etc...) tested by...

boiler I'm not concerned with the OP's statement about a "sleep 10" compiled script, because that by itself would not ordinarily cause a Trojan alert from Defender. If I'm overlooking something about that, please do enlighten me. You (Boiler) are quite an experienced AHKer, so trust that I will pay...

We don't know the full scope of what is in the OP's script (which he didn't publish for us to see) 1. Creation of NEW file. e.g. new.ahk 2. Edit it: now it contains THE ONLY line: sleep 10 (or sleep 100 if you want). 3. Trying to compile this 1-line code... 4. And our hero gets Trojan:Win32/Wacatac...

The other element about this, is what your script is actually doing. Topic starter said that even creating a new file with a simple sleep 10 will trigger Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml when attempting to compile. We don't know the full scope of what is in the OP's script (which he didn't publish for us ...

I think i got infected... Now i can compile my old script without false positive, but as soon as i edit it, i get Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml... whoever i send the exe gets it too... i have ran windows defender fullscan and it found it as well on several files on this path file: C:\Users\Cxm\AppData\...

I'd like my deliminator to be the word "they". Many--but not all--of them are capitalized (and strSplit appears to be case-sensitive). I also need to keep the deliminator with the parsed-up segments, which makes it a bit tricker if the deliminators are different. My thing that I'm doing is using a ...

Have you tried compiling AutoHotkey_H using exe instead of bin? 4/70 on 32-bit Unicode MD: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2f6e9e179fed4de8f6b0b6b5c60e7b7f9dca9f2695c57159cfd86d76116b4aba/detection 3/70 on 64-bit MD: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7bb8b3b89e8d01eedc48db01e4c6d9890d0eb2f3c4...

McAfee also has another layer where developers having problems with false-positive detections can go. You have to e-mail datasubmission[at]mcafee.com , then they will provide the link where you can upload files to their False Submission site. Supposedly, the files will be part of a test rig, in whic...

Have recently come across some false-positive issues with McAfee and their scanners in regards to AutoHotkey_L and AutoHotkey_H. Found you can give information about disputed files through the Internet to McAfee, in addition to e-mailing them (see 1st post for their e-mail address). Link below, and ...

Not back to normal. Edge and Chrome still showing red not secure warnings. I think it's a bad look, as AutoHotkey already gets undeserved heat by various parties. I can only imagine what some are thinking when they come to a not secure website with warning pages or at least red coloring. I'm sure th...

Edge and Chrome browsers are giving warnings that the AutoHotkey website is not secure. No https.

@user1824

Have you tried Ahk_fan's ImageSearch and OCR suggested solution? If you can't get text from the control directly, then it looks like that is the direction you must go.

very do mch want to feature it and offer direct hosting for downloads Awesome! Of course I can only speak for myself, but would think the AHK community agrees and thanks you. ...the appeal of ahk is to non programers. simplified easy to understand... I agree with you on this. One of the great stren...

Apologies if any mistaken impressions or interpretations were given. Wasn't presenting that COM isn't from Microsoft nor that COM was to be used on other OSes. Instead was referring to how other languages have code and specific syntax for various other different OSes contained in different modules o...

In regards to COM, what I've seen done in other cross-platform programming languages is taking a modular-like approach. Code that would be specific to Windows could be in its own modules or units (terminology used is different in various languages) that can be imported, kind of like the UDF (User-De...

feel free to look at the source code I could do that, but I'm probably the wrong person - I would not know what to look for. Andy, It is the makers of SpyHunter 5 who should have experts examining the clear and open source code of AutoHotkey to determine if there is a trojan in it. That AutoHotkey ...

The AHK community has to be vigilant in combating the mislabeling of its open-source AutoHotkey interpreters by various Anti-Virus companies and bad actors. 1) Some companies are trying to increase sales by purposely labeling open-source and known non-dangerous software as malware, to pretend to be ...

@Hellbent

Another good one.

Why coders love the AI that could put them out of a job

At this point, seems more like an advanced form of code completion or code suggestions. Just a more helpful tool. It isn't creative nor knows what you want done.
