[BUG] - Windows Installer version being flagged as a virus on some PCs #13

Closed FiniteSingularity closed 9 months ago

FiniteSingularity commented 9 months ago

Describe the bug The windows-installer version of the plugin is being flagged as a virus by Windows Defender, but only on some PCs. I've had 2 reports of this, but hundreds of other downloads that have not reported, and downloading to 5 of my own PCs yields no flag. Very hard to nail down as I can not replicate.

Ok, so from some research, it looks like this is a pretty common issue. And about the only way to ensure it doesn't happen is to have a signing certificate. I've begun this process which can take a week or two, so hopefully we'll be able to sign the installer and get rid of the random virus warning. I'm going to keep the installer version offline for now until we can sign packages, as I don't want to lose trust due to people seeing false virus flags on the project. Am open to any other thoughts.

Just finished the process of getting a code signing certificate. Still waiting on a few things to arrive in order to be able to use it, but hopefully that'll all be wrapped up by early next week.
