AVG 2015, auto-updated as of this morning, picked up newly-installed
tmux as an "Unknown" threat with source "Identity Protection" when I
tried to run tmux for the first time. I have submitted it to AVG for
analysis but don't hold out much hope there.
I have submitted several false positive reports to different
Antivirus Company and they have, until now, updated their
scan database in few days.
Anyone else seen this? Any idea as to why? I can see by the tmux doc
(http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man1/tmux.1?query=tmux&sec=1)
that it uses a *IX-style socket in /tmp to communicate between client
and server, I wonder if that is what triggered it?
Wonder of heuristic approach...
