Antivirus False positive in my VBA Excel Macro

QUESTION

Antivirus False positive in my VBA Excel Macro

Asked 2020-Apr-09 at 02:25

I just ran into an even more annoying problem. Suddenly windows defender started to flag one of my excel files containing VBA macro code(on download from a browser) as being a virus. The specific virus being logged is:

Trojan:O97M/Foretype.A!ml

Googling it reveals the following information:

O97M.Downloader is a generic detection for Microsoft Office macros that download other threats. They are usually contained in other Microsoft Office documents and may arrive on the compromised computer through attachments or after being downloaded from a website.

Great, so once windows defender detects it, it basically shreds the file, and when you attempt to open it, excel claims the file has "been corrupted". I would love to post my VBA file to http://www.virustotal.com however it contains tons of propriety VBA code that cannot be shared with the wider community. I wonder if there's a website that accomplishes the same thing with a different terms and conditions?

This has only started recently and has only affected a few users/clients. I'm not sure the distribution of clients who have this installed and what versions of windows defender they are running. I'm worried the impact of this will increase until a large number of our clients are affected. Even more troubling, often clients can download one version without issue, but when they download the file(identical VBA code) from a different source they encounter the issue, could the download source affect the files likelihood of being flagged?

Main Question

What causes a excel VBA file to be flagged as a "O97M" virus and how do I prevent it from being flagged?

Related Concerns

Should I sign my VBA Macro's, would that affect the virus detection likelihood?

Are they're other common practices that I could change that would affect the likelihood of false positives?

What is a "Trojan:O97M/Foretype.A!ml" exactly? The window page contains so little information it might as well not exists, Symantec is also pretty unhelpful, (maybe I'm massively uninformed here) is there a centralized repository for virus detection? I would imagine that people may not want to share that and it my differ by product, but I'd be interested in any information pertaining to this...

Started to get the same problem with one of mine xlsm-files as well a couple of days ago (2018-10-29). I've made the file from scratch so I know that it don't contain any virus.

Don't know if Windows Defender reacts on one of the following things:

File is stored on my OneDrive
It contains code for downloading from the web (json-data and images)

Only thing that I haven't made on my own is this code that I'm using: https://github.com/VBA-tools/VBA-JSON/blob/master/JsonConverter.bas

My guess is that Windows Defender reacts on the JsonConverter-code, the "Trojan:O97M/Foretype.A!ml" might be using a similar code.
