Subject: [Boost-users] WinDbgCached_exe recognize has threat by Bitdefender

 

Hi all.

I build boost 1.76.0 woth Visual Studio 2019.

 

I try to scan my pc with bitdefender (free version).

Bitdefender discover a threat in boost_1_76_0\bin.v2\stacktrace\build\msvc-142\release\address-model-32\link-static\threading-multi\WinDbgCached_exe.exe.

 

The threat is recognized as Gen:Variant.Fugrafa.139255

 

Any idea about?

 

I have placed my Boost stuff in a separate partition and excluded it from Bitdefender after persistent false positives like this.

 

You could also consider deleting some or all of /bin.v2.  These files are in effect a sort-of caching zone used by b2/bjam.  It will be rebuilt by running b2 – taking a bit longer to re-build.  (If you run out of disk space, you may also need to do this).
