Legacy AV might miss the threat. In 2021, tools like Microsoft Defender Offline, Malwarebytes, or VirusTotal consistently flagged repurposed bpcheckexe samples as: bpcheckexe 2021

If you actually run BulletProof FTP Server and bpcheckexe is authentic, the best advice for 2021 (and beyond) is to migrate immediately. | Check | Legitimate | Fake/Virus | |
