Article ID: GV1-15-06-17
Released Date: 06/17/2015

Applied to
GV-VMS V14.10
GV-Edge Recording Manager V1.0
GV-Control Center V3.2

Symptom
The GVLicensetool.exe file will be detected as a virus by antivirus software Kaspersky.

Solution
GVLicensetool.exe is a safe file. GeoVision has conducted a test on 7 antivirus software AVG, AVvast, Norton, PC-cilin, ESET NOD32, Avira and Kaspersky. Only Kaspersky will recognize the file as Trojan. However, to avoid the wrong detection, we have removed the file from the following software and version:

GV-VMS V14.10.10
GV-Edge Recording Manager V1.1
GV-Control Center V3.3

If such wrong detection prevails, you may also exclude the file or GV-Software folder from your antivirus scans.
