engagedhits.com false positive

I am the one who maintains this app.

In general, It is a reverse proxy client. We have users who give access for their IP and get paid for this. This connects to the central hub server (there will be multiple in the future). Other users use their IP to connect to the internet, this is like a residential proxy.

In detail, the installer consists of two .exe files: the first one registers the instance of the application and connects it to a particular user (to make us available to pay for them). If it could not connect, the installation is completed with an error. To get the correct install you need to visit the below link

userId is various for different users.

The second part is a service which connects the central hub server I mentioned above and opens the connection.

Again, users know what they install and get paid for that. The app does not download any executable code, it is just what it is.

We also use a valid and recommended certificate.

We won a dispute with Microsoft and some more already, and are communicating with different security vendors now.

Hi,

We will evaluate and remove detection.

Hello @miekiemoes

Is there any update? I still can see malwarebytes marks the file on the virustotal

[miekiemoes]

Hi,

I can't reproduce detection when I scan the file locally. So this means that this has been resolved/whitelisted already, so any user running Malwarebytes won't get a detection for this file.
In case you're verifying detection via Virustotal only, please see here: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/288906-virustotal-only-detections-not-detected-in-desktop-product/
