Flagged as Trojan with Windows Defender
Each time I add this crate and build a windows executable (release or debug), my program gets flagged as Trojan by Windows Defender.
The only way to get the executable to pass Windows Defender is to remove this crate from my program.
I can provide as much details as needed, don't hesitate to ask for more if necessary.
Have a nice day, Louis
I have no knowledge about how Windows Defender works and what makes it consider this crate as a trojan and I honestly have no clue where to look for that...
I found out that NtQuerySystemInformation
(which sysinfo
uses to retrieve processes) might trigger this. Not much that can be done here though...
Windows Defender always treats any unknown executable as Trojan. You have two options, flag it as Safe. Defender will not do that again if there are more people doing the same; or you can sign you executable.
