Antimalware blocks FlexTool #174

Closed e-zaline closed 4 months ago

e-zaline commented 5 months ago

Hello, Just to document an issue that I had: yesterday my antimalware (Avast) blocked FlexTool (I had launched a very big model which was running for a few hours when I got the issue). It was something to do with "idp.generic". Today, when I tried opening FlexTool again, I couldn't:

(base) C:\Users\pc>conda activate flextool

(flextool) C:\Users\pc>python -m spinetoolbox
C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe: No module named spinetoolbox

I deleted flextool environment and re-created it, and it is now working again. Let's see if in the future I get again this issue with Avast.

I haven't had this issue anymore since (I haven't changed anything with the antimalware). I'm closing it for now and will reopen if I have it again.
