Hi guys,
I am pretty new. I managed to set up a basic v83 server using HeavenMS within my own network. yay - it was pretty straight forward and I appreciate the time people put in into these projects.
I want to distribute my exe to my computer savvy friends but it looks like localhost.exe is being flagged as a trojan by Windows Defender (false positive) and gets quarantined.
I used UPX to get around this issue and Windows Defender is now fine with exe as long as it is packed.
However, now the exe won't launch. I tried with different packers but same results.
I understand using UPX would probably increase the detection in other virus programs - however, I just want to get around Windows Defender; detection from other virus programs are not as important for me.
Is there something unique about v83 localhost which makes UPX wouldn't work on it?
