Hi Salvador,

Sorry for the trouble! Is there any way you can copy what Norton is displaying and provide that here?

Hi;

What it says is that the reputation level of the file “local-by-flywheel-1-4-5-windows.exe” is bad and the antivirus eliminated it.

Hi Salvador,

I’ve made a note of this. In the meantime I would recommend telling Norton that it is a false positive.

So sorry for the trouble!

Please look into this. I am running on Windows 10 and I have Emsisoft for anti-malware. Upon installation od Local, I received a notification of 2 Javascript files that were classified as a Trojan. The two files were quarantined during installation but the installation completed. With no surprise, there was an error after it finished. Please see the screenshots.

Frankly, I would be very uneasy about letting it run as a false positive. I might just go back to using WAMP.

Hi @miguelruizdesign17,

Sorry for the trouble!

Your anti-malware software flagged two JavaScript files as trojan’s which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. This is the first time I’ve seen this with Local and it seems like the anti-virus has an overzealous pattern that’s being matched.

I will reach out to Emsisoft regarding this. If you’re uneasy about the false positive, I would recommend trying a free anti-virus like Bitdefender’s Free Edition.
