virus with lazarus-3.0RC2-fpc-3.2.2-win32.exe
Thaddy:
The big anti virus companies usually correct such issues when alerted,
On modern Windows it is a bit silly to run an extra anti virus product over Windows Defender btw. And that one knows about FreePascal binaries....
It is better and much cheaper as in FREE and usually much better. Yes it is better than third party bloatware.
I really do not understand why one should use a third party scanner on Windows because
a. leads to such issues
b. not necesary
c. waste your and my time
Don´ t use a third party virus scanner on Windows. Their reason to exist has been taken out many moons ago already..
BTW FACT, not opinion.
The bloatware and adware should stop at least for consumer anti virus products.
After that rant, though, such companies do have products that focus on serverside protection, and Microsoft lacks there a bit unless you use their cloud products.
IOW for client side consumers third party solutions are a trap, not a solution. Get rid of those and activate defender instead.
But make sure everything is up to date.
FYI the most common mistale by third parties is the compiler finger printing, which I and others solved with Microsoft and AVK.
Both were very helpful and fixed it in days, not weeks.
As a last point, always provide the compiler, its source, its version and the binary and source that causes the issue. A reasonable professional at such a company will always check that as Microsoft and AVR did.....
Yes, Microsoft uses FreePascal ;D O:-) :D
Note you will still get a warning as with any other compiler if the software is not signed, but that is a minor issue and I agreed with that.

Which puts you in the same mess.. Not good advice.

Don't need to download it. An internal utility can calculate:
--- Code: Text [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---certutil.exe -hashfile lazarus-3.0RC2-fpc-3.2.2-win64.exe SHA1Supports MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512.

No, because virustotal doesn't show any viruses for those executables.
And if it does for one or two, it's probably a false positive.
A real virus will show up there for a lot more engines.
