AVG false positive?

[Zophixan]

hiya, avg is saying that there is a virus detected on the windows version.

You can compile your own copy of the program and see what happens.

I tried and on the second compile command, it says "FATAL: Error, icon path 'VSE.ico' does not exist."

[voun7]

Did you download the entire source code and run nuitka --standalone --enable-plugin=tk-inter --windows-console-mode=disable --include-package-data=paddleocr --include-data-files=VSE.ico=VSE.ico --windows-icon-from-ico=VSE.ico gui.py in the source code directory?

@Zophixan Also what file exactly did AVG flag? It should be a false positive.

[Zophixan]

hiya, it was the vse.exe file, and it said it was "custody", whatever that means.

sorry not really good at all this, but i got this: FATAL: Sorry, non-MSVC is not currently supported with Python 3.13,
due to differences in layout internal structures of Python.

Newer Nuitka will work to solve this. Use Python 3.12 or
option "--msvc=latest" as a workaround for now and wait
for updates of Nuitka to add MinGW64 support back.
FATAL: Failed unexpectedly in Scons C backend compilation.
Nuitka:WARNING: Complex topic! More information can be found at

Nuitka compiling only works with python 3.11.

tried it on the older versions, when it starts to compile I get "Nuitka-Options:WARNING: Failed to locate package directory of 'paddleocr'", then it compiles, but running the gui.exe doesn't seem to do anything, it doesn't look like it starts up, i've got the ms c++ redist installed. Tried both clicking it, and command line. Via command line nothing happens, same with double clicking it.

Does the program run work when you run gui.py and utilities/test_main.py? If it doesn't then compiling won't work.

[Zophixan]

hiya, i installed paddleocr, then compiled it. this time it took ages to compile but seems to compile properly. when i run gui.exe AVG stop it saying "detected by cybercapture" , threat detected and secured.

Glad it worked. This is a problem with AVG not the program. You could exclude the folder within AVG.
