Macafee sequestering GCode files

Closed this issue · 5 comments

Macafee is sequestering two files from GCODE version 1.18 which prevents it from running. Just looking to see if anyone else is having this problem and if there is confidence that I can unsequester the files without putting the rest of my computer at risk.

here are the flagged files.

The files kivy_YY-MM-DD_N.txt is a log file created by the logger.py portion of GroundControl. They contain INFO lines that record some runtime information about how Kivy is set up locally, and WARNING or ERROR lines if there are python warnings or errors. Here's mine from my first run on 18-07-31:

It is safe to delete them. No clue why McAfee would flag them, though. There should a separate file created each time you start GC. On a Mac, find them all in:

/Applications/groundcontrol.app/Contents/Resources/.kivy/logs

Does McAfee give any more information about what it found wrong with the file?

ejsrdenny commented

McAfee does not give any information, but it prevents GCODE from running. I will unsequester it and report back.

If you like, you could cross-check the suspect log file at Kasperski VirusDesk. I've checked the file from my system, it comes out as safe. Yours might be different.

Any update on this? did you get GC running?

ejsrdenny commented

I did get ground control running, but only after turning off real time scan. Do you think it's because GCODE executes from a .bat file
