Windows Defender

Windows Defender complains about "Critical threat" and "Trojan" because the application gets the ability to do anything with a folder that requires administrator rights without running the program as an administrator. The corresponding function is:

def change_permissions(path):
    try:
        current_permissions = os.stat(path).st_mode
        if not (current_permissions & stat.S_IRWXU):
            _log.log(logging.INFO, f"Changing permissions for {cut_path(path)}.")

            new_permissions = current_permissions | stat.S_IRWXU
            os.chmod(path, new_permissions)
            _log.log(logging.INFO, f"{cut_path(path)}: 1000")
        else:
            _log.log(logging.INFO, f"{cut_path(path)}: 1500")
    except Exception as e:
        _log.log(logging.ERROR, f"{cut_path(path)}: {e}")
        print(f"Error when changing permissions for {cut_path(path)}: {e}")

Defender sees this and does not allow the program to run.
