Cypress detected as a Trojan
See original GitHub issue- Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64bit OS Build 19299.309
- Cypress Version: 2.1.0
- Browser Version: Chrome 65
- Kaspersky AV
- Visual Studios 2017
- Atom
Bug
Current behavior:
Cypress was/is detected as a Trojan virus.
Desired behavior:
Not detected as Trojan virus.
How to reproduce:
Simple log in test. Test fails at current because the CSS selector gets the area above/around the input area. Open Dev tools in the Cypress browser. Click the input area right click select inspect element. AV should detect a trojan virus

Detected object (process memory) deleted
c:\users\kcarn\appdata\roaming\npm-cache\_npx\14776\node_modules\cypress\dist\cypress\cypress.exe
Process memory: c:\users\kcarn\appdata\roaming\npm-cache\_npx\14776\node_modules\cypress\dist\cypress\cypress.exe
Object name: PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic
Object type: Other malware
Time: 3/31/2018 11:09 AM
8 other files were also detected as infected and deleted. My guess is that something in the files trips the AV because of how they function then the checksum or heuristics match a trojan so away it goes.
Test code:
describe('Login', function() {
it('clicks the link "Log In"', function () {
// https://localhost:44300/Account/Login/?ReturnUrl=%2F
cy.visit('https://localhost:44300/Account/Login/?ReturnUrl=%2F')
cy.get('.login-in.input')
.type('user@user.com')
.should('have.value', 'user@user.com')
//cy.contains('Log In').click()
})//closes it
})//closes describe
// selector from Chrome dev tools
//body > div.row > div > div > article > section.log-in-with-password > form > label:nth-child(3) > input[type="email"]

I would suggest adding Cypress to your list of trusted applications in Kaspersky AV. The very definition of a trojan is it being ‘non-legitimate / non-trusted software’ that you didn’t intend to download, which is not what Cypress is in your case.

Hi Jennifer, we’re having this same issue with our EDR platform. Do you happen to know what exclusion we should add in it for macOS to make sure devs aren’t been blocked? Thank you!
