Antivirus software detecting my C# application as Gen.Variant.Zusy

2.6k views Asked by At

I've built a server-client application in C# .NET and it is a normal irc chat client. Using Tcp Listener on the server side and opened a socket to handle client connection. When I debug or launch the "server" software, my Bitdefender detects it as a Gen.Variant.Zusy.166707 virus. I researched a bit and it said these viruses open up sockets to allow attackers to harm your computer but my server software isn't made for harming. Any way I can get rid of such problems or some way to make the server software safely run on any computer as I will be using this server software for my next game and if it keeps triggering antivirus software, it'll be suspicious and will be never used.

Well if your antivirus can detect it as a virus, others will as well. In this case you'll have to recreate your server unfortunately.
