Antivirus norton is blocking autoupdate 2.12.0

This post was last updated for 322 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?

      Hello, siyuan-cloud.liuyun.io uses the IP provided by Cloudflare. It should not be a fixed IP. You can ping it to see.

      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...

      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.

      I have added Siyuan on whitelist of Norton so there is no problem for moment. We will see if Norton say something during the next update
