Sometimes antiviruses find different threats in SpotX, one of the last ones I saw was a certain Heur.BZC.ONG.Boxter.341.0DC6CB9C

In this case, the well-known antivirus BitDefender for some reason saw a threat in bat files and, what is stranger, he saw a threat only when you throw him files in an archive, and without an archive he could not find anything.

I submitted the full SpotX archive to the BitDefender Malware Research Center.
3 weeks later, I received a response.

Summing up, if you are tormented by doubts that there is a virus, trojan or some kind of evil script inside SpotX, then I am always ready to explain any part of the code, even if you are a beginner or, on the contrary, consider yourself an experienced programmer, all code is open for your detailed study.

If your antivirus is blocking the installation of SpotX then you can simply add files to the exclusion that your antivirus swears at or temporarily disable your protection, if you don't know how to do it then just uninstall it and use Microsoft Defender.

Have a nice day, everyone.
