Thanks for sharing, it looks like antivirus products don't like Pyinstaller executables (as to be expected I guess).

I have no better solution for now, other than what #10 suggested to add the instructions to the README.md on how to generate the executable yourself.

Try building it yourself, that fixed it for me:

Copy log4j-finder.py and log4j-finder.spec from repo
Install Python 3.10
=> pip install pyinstaller
=> pyinstaller log4j-finder.spec

Exe is in your dist folder.

All our virusscanners were blocking the binary listed on frontpage for some reason, the one I generated myself was considered "suspicous", but at least not removed straight away.

Also good to know: For some reason it has big trouble when being run from a Onedrive folder and network drive on our machines (suspect it's because of pyinstaller, but could again be our virusscanner). It will only scan a few files and report it's done. Just copy it to C: and you're good.

While I cannot help AntiVirus from flagging PyInstaller files, I have added the build instructions to the README.md

Thanks for posting your instructions @jkommeren , I have added some of this in the README.md.
