The problem with all Defender versions in Windows Vista and above is it’s integrated into the operating system and installs by default with no visible or hidden option to uninstall. Some spyware protection is better than none, and it’s built in and free! But… if you are already running something that provides great anti-malware protection, defender will probably wasting precious resources, there’s no need to have more than one application running at a time. It’s a small piece of software that runs in the background to help protect ,your computer from malware (malicious software) like viruses, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software.

I have no idea if the compiler was somehow compromised, or if Windows Security was just looking out for things made by a specific version of MinGW, but I would note that the version of 'Hello World' from the first compiler was 4kb larger than the version from the SourceForge compiler, and likewise the installer was around 6kb larger too.Since Vista,Microsoft Defender is included with Windows. I removed MinGW completely, and downloaded the version found on SourceForge, and I no longer have the issue. For some reason, the version of MinGW found here, which is where I was directed to from, causes things I compile to be detected as a virus.

Here is the code: #include 'BearLibTerminal.h'Īnd this is the makefile: gcc -IC:/foo/include -LC:/foo/bin main.c -lBearLibTerminal -o test.exeĮDIT: I seem to have fixed the problem. Does anyone know what could be changed so that Windows doesn't think my program is a virus? I can of course disable Windows Security real-time protection, but this seems like a bad workaround. Shortly after compilation, whether I attempt to run or not Windows deletes the executable. 'Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a I'm able to compile the hello world, but when I try to launch, Windows Security gives an error, which reads I'm trying to start a new C project using BearLibTerminal, compiling with gcc.
