Baby Marxist. Under deprogramming

I like to argue as a way to learn. I won’t use fallicous argument techniques if you won’t. I will still try and be polite though. Will probably keep commenting as long as people respond.
A lot of the time these apps will have heuristics that will reach back out and so you will see network connections occasionally.
Without knowing more about this application, I don’t have the right context to evaluate whether or not I would trust something like that, so it’s gonna be up to your comfort level. But, if clamav came back clean and so did your other virus software, I would assume it’s not malicious traffic.
It’s not like traditional antivirus software, it just includes a tool that you can use to manually scan files to see if it has a virus signature, which is all Eset and most virus scanners are doing on the backend. They’re also doing what’s called heuristics, which is where they’re using predictive modeling to try and identify if a program has what they call an attack signature. This does result in false positives, just so you’re aware.
All virus total is doing is running a bunch of virus engines like eset and clamav on the back end to see if it triggers anything.
If both your virus software and clamav comes back clean, then I’d trust it.
Yes, it’s open source antivirus software.
The entire internet practically runs on what these guys do.
It has a tool that you can use to scan whatever binary you want and it’ll tell you whether or not it’s a virus which fits what you need to do
Just run the file against clamav, and you should be able to tell whether or not it’s got issues. That’s generally what’s done in commercial spaces.
i mean, ya have their metasearch engine, is technically closed source, but they open source all of their other stuff, and, searXNG has to be hosted by yourself unless you’re willing to trust some rando out on the internet that’s hosting their own version.
