Hi,

It looks like your antivirus treated a test executable that got just compiled as a part of CMake tests as a trojan:

C:\Users\<censored>\Source\Repos\WindowsProject2\WindowsProject2\VisualGDB\Debug\CMakeFiles\3.10.1\CompilerIdCXX\a.exe

We regularly check the VisualGDB releases with VirusTotal and notify the antivirus companies to update their whitelists in case VisualGDB starts triggering false positives, but this looks like the antivirus got triggered by a blank executable just built on your machine.

The only advise we could give in this situation is to use a better antivirus that doesn’t get triggered by an empty program.

I see is not triggered when using visualGdb SysGcc folder compiler

Is VisualGdb downloading in those folders this version of gcc ?
<h1>mingw-w64</h1>
<p class=”claim”>GCC for Windows 64 & 32 bits</p>

 

I tested and it looks fine …. but is it officially supported ?
