SQL Plan Explorer // VirusTotal False Positive? // Microsoft Defender "Unknown publisher" Warning

James_153 1 month ago

Hi everyone,

I just downloaded the SQL Plan Explorer Tool [www.solarwinds.com/.../plan-explorer (SolarWinds-PlanExplorer.exe)] to help analyze the performance of some SQL views. When I scan the EXE against VirusTotal, it's coming back with "W32.AIDetectMalware" from "Bkav Pro". I am also getting a "Unknown publisher" Microsoft Defender warning when I attempt to launch the exe. I'm guessing these are false positives, but I rarely see this in other programs. Anyone else here use this, or have experienced any issues with the program?

Thank you,
James

Hi James, thanks again for pointing this out. We ran additional scans on the exe and found it to be clean. Here's the VirusTotal file for reference: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ad8f1a3f087c3c760f8cf9082961c54ba3e7750e082c44ec206b86a6f6a0b47e. I'd recommend downloading the latest builds from our website going forward: https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/plan-explorer.

Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
