Hi, FYI, Windows Defender on Windows 10 with current definitions just started to (mis)detect some .exe files inside mingw-builds packages.
I tried both rev0 and rev1 downloaded from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/6.3.0/threads-win32/sjlj/ The following files are detected as "Trojan:Win32/Kandelo.B!d": file:C:\mingw32\bin\addr2line.exe file:C:\mingw32\bin\ld.bfd.exe file:C:\mingw32\bin\ld.exe file:C:\mingw32\bin\strings.exe file:C:\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\bin\ld.bfd.exe file:C:\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\bin\ld.exe file:C:\mingw32\libexec\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\6.3.0\collect2.exe file:C:\mingw32\libexec\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\6.3.0\lto-wrapper.exe file:C:\mingw32\libexec\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\6.3.0\lto1.exe According to virustotal.com, no other Vendor detects it: https://virustotal.com/en/file/370f9b6d95ae2ad551e9db431e5696883b6a05203ba462fbd79b41f882de7ea7/analysis/ Hence I beliebe it's just a false positive in most recent definitions update. The workaround is to turn Windows Defender off (at least its runtime scanning), otherwise it blocks running those .exe and makes mingw-w64 installation unusable. Hopefully it's not their punishment for preferring mingw-w64 over VisualStudio :-) I reported to Microsoft through https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/portal/submission/submit.aspx Best regards, Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
