Trojan:Win32/IcedID!pz

[leon-andria]

Trying to use the konfig module today. However, the kcl run command failed because of the following error:
failed to compile the kcl package LoadLibraryExW failed

In the same time, Windows Defender Antivirus is triggered about malicious threat and report out about potential Trojan:Win32/IcedID!pz during the compilation.

It seems the the kcl compilation is killed by the Windows Defender, and we will try to fix it. cc @zong-zhe

Could you please set the env KCL_FAST_EVAL=1 and try again?

I set the environment variable but no luck. Still Windows Defender is becoming crazy about it.
However, one point to note is, if I compile simple files, there is no issues from Windows Defender

Hi @leon-andria 😄

Thanks for your feedback. When compiling kcl project, the compiler will request the local credentials to download the third-party dependencies. It may be that the behavior of requesting credentials many times causes it to be considered as a threat by the Windows Defender. I will try to do some work to fix this thing.

That would be helpful for transparency. And if I may ask, in a kind of debug mode, we could see logs. This would make users more confident of using the CLI rather than having a negative feeling of the tool.

Thanks for the good suggestion 😄. We will support it in future versions.
