Virus detected after version v1.0.0 #164

On Windows, when i try to download from v1.0.0 onwards it keeps failing: Failed - Virus detected Please see screenshot. v0.1.8 was ok though

Thanks for reporting this issue!

I see that VirusTotal flags the v1.0.1 release as containing a Trojan.

This issue appears to affect other DPF-based plugins, such as Dragonfly Reverb: https://github.com/michaelwillis/dragonfly-reverb/issues/154

I believe it is a false positive, but I will look into it nonetheless.

Which browser do you use to download Wolf Shaper? Also, do you have any specific antivirus software installed on your machine? Does it create a detailed log entry whenever a virus is detected?

In the meantime, I've tried recompiling Wolf Shaper with a different toolchain (mingw-w64-gcc 12.2.0-1 on Arch Linux)

Can you please check if this release also triggers a warning in your antivirus? https://github.com/wolf-plugins/wolf-shaper/releases/download/v1.0.2/wolf-shaper-v1.0.2+20230515144200-windows-x64.zip

@pdesaulniers seems to be working now... thanks for the quick fix :-)
