Describe the bug
Windows defender detects malware in latest build of hakchi
To Reproduce
upgrade to 3.9.3
Expected behavior
no malware warning
Screenshots
Additional context
Safe screen or actual malware detection?
actual malware detection
Probably a false positive but idk
Weird, I just uploaded the installer and portable version to virus total and defender detected nothing
some other scanners detected Linux “malware”, but it probably confused hakchi with it
Yup. Can't update from hakchi or download unless I turn off all the virus scanners.
I get this warning on Win 11
Unfortunately, these kind of things just happen...
It's a case of antivirus thinking there's a virus based on who knows what factors... might by download count, might be that it isn't codesigned, and maybe it's just because it's coming from github
I've seen one antivirus detect it because some of the linux binary files used for the mod itself are UPX packed to save space
I received the same warning on Windows 10 (fully updated), from either downloading the portable release off GitHub or using the built-in auto-updater.
Maybe just to be on the safe side you guys should make sure you haven't been compromised, either via dependencies or on your build machines?
Which file inside of the archive does it detect?
Unwanted program IS NOT MALWARE (VIRUS, TROJAN, RAMSOMWARE, etc.) is the way in which Microsoft tell you "you are downloading a program what I THINK you shouldn't use" in other words: The developer has not pay me lots of money for me do not scare the users and give you bad reputation.
So, you have two options: use a real antivirus, or use a net explorer to scan the file.
do not trust the people here and do not use the software.
