Hello,
I'm writing to inform you that the package is (apparently) infected with a virus. I just downloaded it, and Symantec is detecting it as a virus.
I downloaded version 1.5.23 a few weeks ago, and it worked fine. (Except that it no longer works now.
)

Hello,
which package are you referring to?
From which URL did you download it?
It's possible this is a false positive caused by
nssm.exe – this is discussed in the documentation:
https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/Frequent-pro ... -antivirus.
I'm waiting for your information to understand why your antivirus is malfunctioning.

Coming from this link:
https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/releases/ ... rsetup.exe
Note that the working package does not have this problem.
Note that the error reported by Symantec is: Infected by PU1.Gen.2
I wondered about nssm. But the installation binaries are on a volume excluded by the antivirus, which surprises me...

It's strange that Symantec is only taking action for a generic signature like this.
The VT analysis results are here:

We're looking into why.
Thanks for your feedback.

If this is confirmed, I can raise this issue with Symantec.
