I'm not one of the developers, and I don't do anything for windows anymore (this issue is one of them). It sounds like, reading through your link, that there isn't anything actually malicious, just one of the certificates has expired (or, is near expiring and your system clock is off in some way - reporting utc as local time, maybe, or the certificate didn't specify its timezone correctly).
If this is the case, it's why a lot of "small" devs I know are backing away from providing builds for windows, if you don't pay Microsoft for a "certificate" that you are a legitimate developer and sign all your code with it, the anti-virus blocks you as malicious (gone are the days of actually scanned software for the fingerprints of known malware, now they just check if everything is signed with a valid pay--microsoft-to-play certificate that has not expired) On Mon, Jul 1, 2024, 22:15 Josh <joshbraset...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello there, > > I was scanning the installer for the latest Windows release of tesseract. > 1 security vendor flagged the file as malicious.
