Failed, Virus Detected #73

Closed NaterEST closed 3 years ago

NaterEST commented 3 years ago

So, I and some other people are having an issue where they can't download the latest file for mumble proximity chat, because windows says that there might be a virus and deletes the program immediately. Maybe we can fix it ourselves, or it's a small issue in the code or something like that. Welcomes, Nate.

Have this warning too on the same file.

Thank you for your report, unfortunately there is not much we as developers can do. Virus-detection is a well kept secret (understandably) - in addition, we do employ some low-level tricks which maybe are also used by some malware, thus producing a false-positive.

You could either restore the file from quarantine (should be easy in windows defender) and add an exception, or you could try to compile the code yourself.

Thank you for answering. I myself am not good at coding (still a newbie), but I just know about these things. I have Windows Defender and I just needed to turn off real-time protection, for the file to work. The false-positive thing should work, if done correctly.

StarGate01 commented 3 years ago

Happy to see it works, but I do not recommend outright turning off real-time protection. Instead, you should add a single exception and keep the rest of the protection enabled.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I added the exception, works fine.
