Trend antivirus blocks resulting .exes #2443

Closed hydra3333 closed 1 year ago

Hello. I just built ffmpeg, ffprobe, mediainfo in a Windows Sandbox (supposed to be a pristine environment) and copied them to my PC ... and Trend Micro antivirus blocks them from running saying "Suspicious File Blocked". Been on the chat with a Trend support agent for an hour ... Suggestions welcomed.

Add exceptions in your AV

Did that. No effect. Trend appeared to ignore the "Exceptions List", even after a reboot.

"Coincidentally", it happened after an unfortunately timed combo of a Trend upgrade and a new ffmpeg build. Trend support said they are submitting the exe files to their threat team, although my money is on a Trend bug ... I don't believe in coincidences. VirusTotal reports nothing amiss.

PS everything built with stack-protector=all and fortify-source=2.

Hmm. Used sysinternals to remove all Alternate Data Streams on all files and now Trend doesn't hit on it. How strange.

Trend sent me an email saying the ffmpeg.exe is clean. Nice to know. Trend does not hit on it any more.
