Antivirus norton is blocking autoupdate 2.12.0

This post was last updated for 352 days ago, and the information may already be changed

Hi, my antivirus Norton is blocking the last auto update performed during the closing of the software (siyuan-2.12.0-win.exe).

It is the first time it happend in a software for me. Norton never gave me false positive before. Do you know what could cause that?

I'm not sure what the cause is, but you can rest assured that as long as the installation version is downloaded from the official website, it will definitely not contain malicious code or viruses. You can consider adding SiYuan to the trust list, thank you.

After installingthe update, Norton is complaining that Siyuan kernel has not valid digital signature.

Could you verify please that the IP address in the picture is yours?
It seem that SiYuan is trying to connect to siyuan-cloud.liuyun.io ?

I just downloaded it and checked it out. The digital signature should be normal https://b3log.org/siyuan/en/download.html

The downloaded setup trigger Norton too. I conclude it is a Norton false positive cause it detect that Siyuan setup tryin to update a file (SiYuan/resources/app/electron/icon.png) in the protected folder AppData. I don't know why Norton does not detect that Siyuan is trying to update itself...
