False positives scanning self folder

[inire]

When I ran the scan this morning the scan found a ton of issues in the downloads folder where the Loki scanner was.

command line was simply loki.exe

How did you run loki.exe? (did you add the directory to the PATH variable?
Did you execute the loki.exe in C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Loki-master\Loki-master\ or a copy of it somewhere else on disk?
The program automatically excludes the working directory from the scan.

started command line in administrator mode.
executed file loki.exe in the C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Loki-master\Loki-master\ folder.
no options, just the exe by itself.

Could you check if this still happens with version 0.7.1of the loki.exe which I uploaded a few minutes ago?

[inire]

downloading, testing. will reply back. thanks.

You could speed things up by using
loki.exe --noprocs -p C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads

Ah - it's a problem with the long path because sys.executable gives the DOS 8 character directories names in its response:
C:\Users\neo\DOWNLO1\LOKI-M1\loki.exe
1 C:\Users\neo\DOWNLO1\LOKI-M1
Test: C:\Users\neo\DOWNLO1\LOKI-M1

I have to find out how the sys module returns an NT path.

I think I fixed it now with version 0.7.2

See the PyInstalled issue: pyinstaller/pyinstaller#1282

ok, downloaded, and will retest now.

didn't reply to yesterdays (0.7.1) because it didn't finish running for a while.

Neo,

That did the trick, thanks. No self folder scanning.

Thanks for looking into this and fixing so quickly.
