Antivirus Complaining about Go1.9 #21611
Comments
From Symantec's website
Contrary to the wisdom of the crowd, it is extremely unlikely that there is a virus in the repo. If you really believe otherwise, you can upload the exe to virustotal and compare the hash to the same download from another computer. |
Note that false positives in Anitvirus software for go binaries has happend before. Where did you download the file and which package/version? I downloaded https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.windows-amd64.zip |
This is not any Go error. Contact your AV/OS provider and ask them for a better product. |
Closing because there is nothing we can do. Please comment if you think of something. Thanks. |
