antivirus flags as unsafe #52

Closed Pacsonic closed 1 year ago

Pacsonic commented 2 years ago

My antivirus flags every single file in the build unsafe and deletes them. Is there a way to make sure this doesn't happen?

You should not keep your antivirus enabled while compiling your projects, or at least you should exclude your project and build directories from real-time scanning. This will not only prevent issues with false positives but will also greatly speed up the build process, since the behavior of most compilers tends to trip the detection hooks installed by your antivirus software. This applies to any programming language and platform, not just to C/C++ with PSn00bSDK.

It's when I download them off the web.

There is nothing we can do to prevent antivirus software from treating PSn00bSDK's binaries as if they were malware (short of signing them which would be ridiculously expensive), so I'm going to close this issue. The SDK is known to work on fresh Windows installations; setting up a Linux VM is also an option if you don't want to change your AV's settings.
