Hi,
One user reported via #boost at cpplang.slack.com that Windows Defender reported trojan in the latest Windows binaries. I checked myself and I can confirm the latest up-to-date Windows Defender is detecting Vigorf.A in the installer archive.
Is this false report?
I suspect so
OK
- Norton regularly accuses my generated binaries of various infections so that I have had to stop it scanning the partition containing Boost (a good reason why a separate partition is a good idea - rather than stuffing it all in C:/boost/... ).
I apply similar approach, having this special place expluded C:\Users\mateuszl\Downloads\_NoDefenderScansHere_ That's why I missed the issue until someone pointed out on #boost channel, and I checked it myself from different location. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
