I have just had my Webroot antivirus report a virus in the Mp3Tag program folder, C:\Program Files/Mp3Tag.
It was reported as being a w32.Trojan.Gen called tak\_deco\_lib.dll
Is this a real threat or a false positive?

You can check it by your self if you upload this
`tak_deco_lib.dll`
to [virustotal.com](http://virustotal.com) and see what all other antivirus software detect.
I guess it's just another false positive.
This is was virustotal says about the last `tak_deco_lib.dll` from 26.07.2024:

1 of 62 vendors believe this is a "Trojan.Malware".
I think you can ignore this one false positive from vendor "MaxSecure".

See e.g here:
> [@False Positive: Malwarebytes and Virustotal Report AI Malware in 3.26](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/false-positive-malwarebytes-and-virustotal-report-ai-malware-in-3-26/64907):

(and which MP3tag version should be virus infested?)

Since Mp3tag version v3.27 this external DLL is no more necessary.
From the [changelog](https://www.mp3tag.de/en/changelog.html):
```auto
[2024-08-08] REL: VERSION 3.27 (for Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7)
------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2024-07-30] CHG: reimplemented parsing of TAK files and removed dependency to `tak_deco_lib.dll`.
```
@Buntobox Maybe you should update your Mp3tag version?

Thanks for the help. I have now updated to the latest version. I have used Mp3Tag for a while so got no notification of a new version.

Anyway, some additional information to virustotal:
"1/62 security vendor flagged this file as malicious", specially if an scanner like "MaxSecure" some unknown reports "malicious" '
=\> never mind! wave and smile!
