Hmmm… it’s a false positive. Is it Windows Defender or something else? Is it when you open the app or when you setup local AI? Not sure where I would send a request for it to be not flagged.
- js4ever 3y agoIt's probably an issue with the tool you used to create the installer. Few options: use another tool like the one included in visual studio, sign your exe with a certificate. Or publish it on the windows marketplace. Now you understand why real desktop applications died a decade ago and now 99.99% of apps are using a web UI
- chown 3y agoThat’s true and unfortunate. The MacOS installer is signed and I will be looking into signing the Windows installer. Thank you for your suggestions. My last experience of getting and signing a Windows installer was awful and goes back to what you were saying about desktop app dying a decade ago.
- dom96 3y agoI'd say it's more an issue with the anti-virus that is flagging this as a virus when it isn't one. We should expect better out of AV software. I've personally seen many instances of false positives across various software that was definitely not a virus.
- rezonant 3y agoThere seems to be something about what these AI apps do that causes the false positives, because Ollama itself also triggers Windows defender https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2519 https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2519
- everforward 3y agoI'm pretty sure Windows Defender throws a false positive for anything that isn't either from the app store or code signed. What a horrendous piece of software.
