Windows Defender detects the install_windows.bat file as a trojan virus
Hi, I was triyng to install SwarmUI in my Laptop with Windows 11 and Windows Defender as antivirus, and I got this:
I'm using the direct link from this github repository.
Windows defender does not detect the virus if I cat the file on Linux and copy/paste the content into another.
I know, I can override Windows Defender but I think this should be reviewed.
Thanks in advance.
0.o? That might be because you have it on a network drive, and windows really doesn't like executables over network.
Batch files are literally text, you can easily open it and see for yourself there's nothing sus inside.
It might be a little unhappy that it does a download (git clone of Swarm repo) followed by calling things inside (make-shortcut and launch)?
It's rare, but even my browser (Edge) detects the file when I download it.
I hope this is an issue just for me.
If it helps I also added a manual install guide to the readme https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableSwarmUI/commit/a65ad7fa37b2c626fd9f72ffa7919381b8cc3632 https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableSwarmUI?tab=readme-ov-file#alternate-manual-windows-install
