Why does my virus-scanning software think my Go distribution or compiled binary is infected?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This is a common occurrence, especially on Windows machines, and is almost always a false positive.
|
||||
Commercial virus scanning programs are often confused by the structure of Go binaries, which
|
||||
they don't see as often as those compiled from other languages.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you've just installed the Go distribution and the system reports it is infected, that's certainly a mistake.
|
||||
To be really thorough, you can verify the download by comparing the checksum with those on the
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/dl/">downloads page</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In any case, if you believe the report is in error, please report a bug to the supplier of your virus scanner.
|
||||
Maybe in time virus scanners can learn to understand Go programs.
