FYI folks... I pulled down WiresharkPortable_3.4.0.paf.exe yesterday for some troubleshooting chores. The download was flagged by my corporate security team for a virus signature, {Virus/Win32.WGeneric.arybve(383238846)} . I didn't notice any issues, but corporate IT removed it from both my laptop and the server I was using it on. Just wanted to let the team know.

Likely to be another annoying false positive, care to name the AV program?

What does VirusTotal say?

Detection came from Palo Alto Firewalls – Virus/Spyware signature rules.

VirusTotal reports all clean bar one engine (Jiangmin ??), so as I suggested likely a false positive.

Not sure if that will be enough to allow the release of the heavy boots of your corporate IT security though.

If it helps, false positives happen often enough that we maintain a list of them.
