How to avoid anti-virus on Windows (.exe file) ??

Post by vlad-x » Sun Apr 02, 2017 11:36 pm

The Windows version produced by LC (.exe) immediately triggers anti-virus. And Skype won't accept it every now and then.

I get it. It does look suspicious :)

Question: is there any way to avoid file blocking/checking? Is there any way to make/package this simple .exe file, so that it looks more "legitimate"?

Thank you!

Long answer: Bloom filters.

Short answer: Contact support for the AV vendor so they can correct the false-positive.
