[Bug]: 3.17 is flagged as a Trojan by Windows 11
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Describe the bug in detail
When trying to install version 3.17 either through the app itself and the update prompt or by downloading from GitHub, unpacking, and installing from the .exe - Windows 11 flags the file as containing a Trojan (Wacatac.B!ml), halts the installation, and deletes the .exe file.
This very well could be a false positive but it is consistent and prevents installation.

I just tried the new executable and I'm also experiencing this. I've seen this happen when the --clean argument isn't used with pyinstaller.
Thank you. Unfortunately, I'm away from my Windows machine for the long weekend. I believe I used the command from the README on the latest build, but I may be mistaken.
I updated the 0317 build with the build created from the build workflow code FiYir implemented. I didn't bump the version as I didn't want an old version out there with possibly malicious or perceived malicious code.
Windows defender is fine with this new build.
@Phyrre56 did you try the new build that was attached to the 3.17 release?
This should be handled by the new process in 3.18, and I removed the flagged 3.17 release.
Sorry I was out of town, but thank you for addressing this and I was just able to upgrade to 3.18 so the problem is indeed solved.
