Title: Install prohibited for codeblocks-25.03mingw-setup.exe
Post by: amigabill on April 20, 2025, 02:26:04 am

Downloaded codeblocks-25.03mingw-setup.exe

Avast blocks this from running and removes the file from my downloads folder.

At first, when I ran the installer, I got a no permission on the file error, weird looking, then Avast said infected with something. Trying to get back to that to screenshot for here, not the download is not allowed to save. I can't figure out how to give permission per the screenshot here.

The affected file is MinGW\bin\libLLVMXRay.dll . Same with AVG (effectively the same app as Avast for the last number of years).

Have you reported this as a false positive to Avast?

Yes, I have reported as false positive. Can we get an explanation about why it should be safe to disable virus detection and allow this to be installed?

The file is part of the MinGW compiler, so you would have to ask on the relevant forum/page at https://www.mingw-w64.org/support

The 64 bit mingw gcc is from https://winlibs.com/
