Trojan in Windows Installer?

[JimT787]

Got the Github private repo --> public release repo working and used installer for Mac succussfully. However, the Win64 installer from the public releases repository will not run and antivirus is saying a Severe Trojan is in the installer package. I attached the screenshot. I reran the release build and got the same result.

This is an annoyance on windows that im working on. There is no trojan. Some windows boxes seem to display this for any zip file.

I'm working on adding code signing on windows to get rid of this warning.

That's what I was hoping. Thank you!

This issue is fixed in version 4.0.17.

You will need to create a new release of your app, in order to benefit from this.
Note: You may also need to close and reopen your browser before downloading your new release just to give it a "fresh" start.

The Windows installer is now signed (by my company - Web Lite Solutions). While this doesn't guarantee that Windows won't mistake it for a virus, my tests so far have been promising. The machine that was complaining before about it being a virus no longer complains. From what I have read, having the exe signed makes it much less likely that Windows will mistake it for a virus.

That is terrific! Thank you!
