Ticket details:
I downloaded mingw-get-setup.exe and used it to install gcc, g++, and MSYS. I
compiled a simple binary which does nothing except print hello world and
uploaded it to virustotal.com. To my horror, virustotal found numerous
positives in the hello world executables. I am almost positive that there is no
way that virustotal would have this many false positives, so please look into
rebuilding whatever part of MinGW is the source of this malware. Attached are
links to the virustotal scans of basic hello world executables compiled with
gcc and g++ from MinGW, along with whatever I could dredge up on the web
pertaining to this.
