Hi @dariottolo,
This is kind of weird that this is identified as a malware. It might be because on windows, the tool needs to open a port to communicate between the python and lua parts of the tool.
At which step of the install process does Kaspersky remove it?
Is there a way to have more details about the reason why it finds it as a malware? (win32 generic is weird...)
Has this happened multiple times?
Might be interesting to inquire more on the Kaspersky side, as - except if it has been tampered with during your download - this is just a Python script bound together with pyinsgaller. I will probably need to add the sha1/md5 of the files on the download page in order to insure that the file you downloaded is the actual file provided on the website!
Thanks for your reply.
Those are the steps:
I attach you the most detailed log I could produce.
The type of warning is very generic, but I have no idea if it is a standard error message Kaspersky displays if it can not identify the threat as a virus it knows, but still feels something wrong is happening.
And it happened a few weeks ago, in the same way. I can not remember which version I was trying to install.
As I wrote earlier, I do not think the problem is with the file I downloaded, because if I scan it, Kaspersky says there are no issue. The problem is that during the installation process, Kaspersky think something is behaving like a virus, maybe modifying some "system file", therefore stopping the thing and deleting every file involved.
I know I am asking too much, but if you want to replicate the issue, they offer some trial version. I am running KIS 19.0.0.1088
Thank you very much for your attention.

Dear all,
I tried to install on a Windows machine running Kaspersky Internet security. If I scan the installation file KIS says it's safe. Once I run it, the installation is blocked and KIS deletes even the installation file with the following error:
25.07.2018 19.09.05;Removed malware;PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic;D:\Downloads\TraktForVLC_2.0.0a2.dev19.g7851368_windows_x64.exe;d:\downloads\traktforvlc_2.0.0a2.dev19.g7851368_windows_x64.exe;07/25/2018 19:09:05
I would prefer not to disable the antivirus in order to install, and I am not sure it will not be deleted once I restart it.Thank you in advance.
Regards
