Hi Andrea,

I would suggest that this is probably a false positive down to the way your 
anti-virus software detects threats. Searching for this particular threat gives 
several similar examples from even very simple Python code.

On my home PC, a scan of the CCP4 installation with Windows Defender doesn't 
report any issues.

Hope that helps,

Andy

External Sender: Use caution.


Hi,



I updated to ccp4-9 a couple of days ago (windows, package manager) and today 
my antivirus moved one of the ccp4 files to a quarantine. It was:

CCP4-9/WinCoot1/lib/python.3.11/site-packages/rdkit/Chem/rdDistGeom.pyd


It claims the threat is Win64:Evo-gen [Trj].



Is this an issue or did my antivirus just delete an actual part of a software?



Thank you,

Andrea
