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 - 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/... ). We should get it whitelisted, but I doubt if that is practicable. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
