Malware in Python 32-bit Installer v 3.2.4 Windows
#1
Hi All,

Just registered to let you know about a possible issue with one of your files. I assume this is the most appropriate place (issues to be reported here).

Hope not wasting anyone's time with false positive but I downloaded the 32-bit msi for version 3.2.4 for Windows. As usual ran a virus scan and it came up with the following result

(Checked using this online tool: https://www.virustotal.com/ )

Infected with :
Win32.Trojan.WisdomEyes.16070401.9500.9884

https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.4/

I checked another version's msi file and it was fine with no malware detected.

Unless I did something wrong the msi sig matched the file okay (checked with Kleopatra on Windows) so it has not been replaced though the program could not verify the certificate used (am assuming this part fine as it's not centrally certified though I'm unsure).

Just thought i would raise here.
Smile
Cheers,

Clown
