Virus reported when installing

[esoffron]

Microsoft Defender reported malware when installing. It could well be a false positive or the legitimate use of a suspicious library (like keyboard sniffing for legit reasons), but... I can't install it like this.

Hi Ernie,

Thanks for the report. I've scanned it with my copy of Microsoft Defender on multiple machines and it was happy with it, but obviously it is not happy about it on your end. I presume you have the latest virus definitions?

Can you try submitting it as a false positive to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission

Probably better if you submit it since I cannot replicate it.

It is using low level keyboard hooks to emulate the IIGS keyboard.

Cheers, Ian.

this website - can check an uploaded file against 20+ virus engines. I used it a while back to isolate a false positive.

And ... it didn't find anything.

Another person reported a problem here. I'm using Win10 and haven't seen any complaints. Malwarebytes had no issues with it.

Thanks for the link @ksherlock. Very useful site.

Submitted. My Windows VM is managed by my employer, so the definitions are up to date and EXTREMELY twitchy. I wouldn't be surprised by a false positive, but if nobody says anything then nobody else can fix it if it was real. You can close this if others think it's a false positive. (And I'm happy to do Mac testing when you're ready so I can get out having to use Windows!)
