Hello,

Thank you for reporting this. We would contact AVG to fix this false positive. Do you have the latest AVG? We've tried to check it through Virustotal but it doesn't flag it there https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/15e32718ac296358ddb1fd1583d3ea3ed6bf1dcec5c2b132ea19253ff7884537

Which exact version have you tried please?

Thank you

I tried AVAST, I believe CyberCapture is the same thing in AVG.

They start their analysis once our language server starts and then after a minute claim they need more analysis. They say they should have it done in a few hours. So I will just test it again tomorrow, if it still keeps popping up, I'm going to get in touch with them.

It's not really a false positive, since they don't flag the file, it's just annoying. And there is an option to run the language server anyway.

Hi,

We've contacted the AVAST and they claim this detection should not happen anymore. I can confirm that on my test machine, but they say that this change may take up to 24 hours to take full effect. So this should be solved now.

If this persists on your machine, please let me know.

Thank you!
