From a couple of builds ago, Windows Security start to flag the FreeCad zip as a threat. Initially, I thought it could be a false positive, but after so many builds it's still detecting as a threat. Please verify this issue.

Had this issue as well, but it cleared up the past few builds

Downloaded and extracted the latest (FreeCAD_weekly-builds-36596-2024-03-25-conda-Windows-x86_64-py311.7z) with no issue. Make sure your Windows Defender updates are the latest?

I've heard that windows defender and other antiviruses are now flagging anything that uses python that isn't signed as malware, but I don't know. I haven't experienced these issues myself

[maxwxyz]

Is this still relevant?

[CIKoolK]

Best solution is don't run Windows...

not much we can do about MS bs and I have not seen more reports about this
