Executable is considered malware by Windows Defender #166

I've used labelImg for months without issue, however starting today anytime I try to extract the version 1.5.0 binary Windows Defender automatically flags it as malware and quarantines it.

Here's a screenshot of what Windows Defender shows

I'm curious if anyone else is running into this issue, thanks.

@nicksam112 , I do not have ideas how to deal with your problem so far. Can you try to figure out the solution and share with me?

nicksam112 commented 6 years ago

You can simply select the quarantined item and tell Windows to ignore it and it becomes usable again

Hopefully this isn't a common issue

It occurs with the version 1.5.1 pre-built windows binaries also. I had to tell windows defender to ignore.
