I suspect this problem in more common with XMBC because it installs mouse & keyboard hooks (its prime purpose is to hook the mouse to remap the buttons so it has to do that) and unfortunately that is also an avenue for malware to monitor keys/mouse for malicious purposes. As you can see from VirusTotal it is not - but sometimes AV packages get themselves in a tizz and flag XMBC (and other things) incorrectly (false positive). Ive never had a problem but I have on some occasions (usually with a new version before it is widely used - lets face it XMBC has only a small following so the chances of this happening are higher than, say with Microsoft Office!) had reports of XMBC being detected as a virus.

So far this is the only time i've seen this IDP.Generic detection is with XMouseButtonControlįirstly, there is only a "free" version - there has never ever been a paid version of XMBC and I have never anticipated making a paid version - XMBC is a hobby.Īs to the anti-virus problem, I don't really know. but what would cause it to be considered unsafe on my specific computer? False positive? or could there be some other virus on my computer lurking infecting random programs silently that avast can't detect? I uploaded it to virus total website and it APPEARS to be safe. Sometimes my mouse cursor will skip/freeze for a moment just before avast shows the popup.
