Antivirus Alerts and SABnzbd Releases
New SABnzbd updates may cause antivirus programs to mistakenly label it as a threat.
What Triggers the Alerts
Some common triggers include:
-
Network connections and socket use
-
Scheduled actions and built-in databases
-
Bundled executables
Antivirus software typically flags unfamiliar behavior from new releases.
Steps to Resolve
-
Make sure your antivirus software is fully updated.
-
Restore SABnzbd from quarantine.
-
Reinstall the application if it was removed.
To confirm the detection is a false positive, scan the installer using VirusTotal.com.
False positives usually go away as antivirus software learns the new version.
