Virus detected in Chocolatey-for-wine.7z? #17

I tried to download the 7z file and received a virus notification from Google and Microsoft. Any idea why? See below images. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the notification.

The virus warning is likely caused by the ReflectivePE-Injection script in powershell_codesnippets.ps1 It's really harmless in my script but one can do evil things with it; I just wanted to added a showcase of what you can do with powershell in wine, but it's detected as virus , so I think I'm just going to remove it from the script, and readd it as a download, with a warning that it can trigger a virus warning.

I'll post a notify here when the updated script is released.

Regards

Hi, I removed part of the script in the newest release, and in instead this is now offered in winetricks.ps1 as a download, so it's not included anymore. I also added a warning that if you want to download the script with winetricks.ps1, that it might trigger a virus warning.

So this should be fixed I think in the last release ; if it still is an issue, please feel free to reopen this issue
