the AV vendors really need to sort their stuff out - its a false positive
caused
by the detection of the framework installer that eduroamCAT uses as malware.
unfortunately, whilst older AV products use fingerprint/blacklist heuristics
rather than code analysis avoiding this is 'difficult'. if eduroamCAT used
a different packager/installer etc then you can bet that'd also get detected
wrongly in the future after 'bank-malware-X' uses the same to get onto
systems :(
