Dear Pharoers,

I want to install the stable version of pharo on all the computers of my academic component, but the IT Service has a problem with Kaspersky Security.
It identifies a Trojan…

Do you know this problem ? And how to install Pharo ?

Best regards,

hello Jannik

I hope that you are getting well. We can only support such installation :)

Now I do not think that we ship the exe with a virus but we will check.
The problem is that Pharo VM produces assembly code and probably that Kaspersky is thinking that this is a virus.

I think that we will have to have a way to assess whether an installation is exactly the one we
deliver.

I note you can report false positives to Kaspersky if the exe is not contaminated - https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/answers/1870

Thanks, Jannik for the report.

I have reproduced the problem and got the same results.
Originally I had the same idea that Stef that the problem was with the
machine code generation logic,
but this logic is in the VM DLL and not in the executable, so it is not.

I will do more tests to generate different versions of the VM to see if
there is a problem of compilations
or a piece of code that looks suspicious. I want to do a pass before
reporting it as a false positive.

I keep you updated.
