Zynonym trojan/virus in Version 2.9.5? #1094

Closed WB0OCV closed 10 months ago

WB0OCV commented 10 months ago

I just downloaded the 64-bit version 2.9.5 (28-Oct-2023), and upon installation, Windows Defender quarantines the urh_debug.exe executable as containing the Zynonym trojan/virus. I tried downloading the 32-bit version of v2.9.5, and Google blocks the download entirely as being a dangerous file. I downloaded and installed the 64-bit version of v2.9.4 (28-Jan-2023), and it installs without any problem or identification of a virus. Can the author of URH v2.9.5 please check the program for potential incorporation of a Trojan/virus and recompile if necessary? Thank you.

The false-positives are caused by PyInstaller - see here for a list of issues.

Just released URH v2.9.6 with a more recent Python version (3.11) and built with PyInstaller 6.3.0.

Please contact your anti-virus vendor if the new version gets still quarantined. There is not much URH or PyInstaller can do about such false-positives.
