I just downloaded the Plex Media Server for Windows from the Plex website and Norton flagged it has having a virus with medium risk.
Is the file safe?
See snippet below
according to norton/symantec :
https://community.norton.com/en/forums/clarification-wsreputation1-detection
WS.Reputation.1 is a detection for files that have a low reputation score based on analyzing data from Symantec’s community of users and therefore are likely to be security risks. Detections of this type are based on Symantec’s reputation-based security technology. Because this detection is based on a reputation score, it does not represent a specific class of threat like adware or spyware, but instead applies to all threat categories.
The reputation-based system uses “the wisdom of crowds” (Symantec’s tens of millions of end users) connected to cloud-based intelligence to compute a reputation score for an application, and in the process identify malicious software in an entirely new way beyond traditional signatures and behavior-based detection techniques.
it happens with norton/symantec when files are fresh and new Plex (this not encountered by them) should file a dispute (on their website)
I scanned with 3 others no virus no alert.
