I have to say windows defender love tripping on w64devkit binaries - make
, debugbreak
etc
from w64devkit.

Hi, I have installed the latest binaries last thursday on my windows machine.
Yesterday, suddenly my mouse startet moving by itself and windows opened everywhere and stuff started installing.
After rebooting, Windows defender isolated debugbreak.exe:
from w64devkit.
"This program is dangerous and self-propagates over a network connection"
Utter nonsense. This is total worthless fearmongering and truly unacceptable.
from w64devkit.
What do you mean? I am posting what happened, in an attempt to let the developer know there may be a problem. How is this "fearmongering and truly unacceptable" ?
from w64devkit.
What was surprising for me, was, that having downloaded the w64devkit-1.23.0.zip
and uploaded to virustotal.com resulted in the above virus detection, but when I've told virustotal.com to verify the download URL https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/releases/download/v1.23.0/w64devkit-1.23.0.zip
it did not show any threat: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/8bd03334f21f5f49af6b6f8e53075afbcaccee94cd225ee7968903aadfcee892
from w64devkit.
When downloading the zip and running /bin/debugbreak.exe
through virustotal by its self the result is quite bad:

@davidstrahm I was referring to the nonsense message windows defender invents. It was not personal to you.
Either way - there is nothing any of us can do. debugbreak.exe is not malware. This message is false positive. There is no problem.
from w64devkit.
From the description of debugbreak.exe it is not an indispensable component. Simply delete it on suspicion.

@MagicalDrizzle same here, as it was already with AVG antivirus (still I haven't tried it lately)
from w64devkit.
Hi - any idea why debugbreak.exe is getting flagged as malware?
from w64devkit.
@jburn20 go ask Microsoft. We aren't antivirus developers, there is nothing we can do.
This is not an issue.
from w64devkit.
I understand that. I was just asking for any clarification on what the root cause might've been.
Thanks.

False positive, see #79.
