Hi,
I just tried the UI dated 4/16 and I'm getting a virus notification in bitdefender - any ideas?

And it’s open source so you can check if it’s safe

Ok, and I've reported it as a false positive - hopefully they'll get it fixed. Thanks!

@pro83 open source doesn't necessarily mean it's safe to use
you can share the source code here for everyone but the compiled extractor could perfectly be infected and the average 'dumb' user won't be able to check this out.

Well, it would be very risky for such a known enthusiast as Enderman to do such thing, wouldn't it? And also, as the program is open-source, users can always compile it htemselves.

@Yarpopcat08 the antivirus would complain even for a self-compiled copy because of it being a "untrusted application". This is why most devs have no AV or use Linux (myself included).

Back on topic, the user would know that it's fine because they compiled it.

"open source doesn't necessarily mean it's safe"

  • This actually true, but the code here is safe.

@Bang1338 is there an antivirus for scanning code? I don't think so.

Yes, this repository hosts safe code too.

nah there's no antivirus for scanning that, you have to use your brain to scan it
