Previous resolution #1094 states to ignore warning/ communicate to anti virus programs that file is not threat.

Please confirm.

Yes, please report this to your anti-virus vendor as a false positive. You can see in https://github.com/jopohl/urh/issues/1075 how to report it to Microsoft.

For more context, please refer to my comment in another related issue.

FYI both Chrome and Firefox now block this download:

https://github.com/jopohl/urh/releases/download/v2.9.6/Universal.Radio.Hacker-2.9.6-x64.exe

Quite annoying! Honestly it's doubly annoying that they give you no actionable information. "This file is dangerous." No further details. :-/

For context, this is caused by PyInstaller, please look here for more information https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6754#issuecomment-1100821249

Possible options:

  1. Use a different installation method e.g. with pip
  2. Run it from source
  3. Report the false-positive to your anti-virus vendor
