[FieldTrip] Malware detected in gtsrefine.exe

[Jörn M. Horschig]

HI Nathan,

 

The function belongs to an external toolbox, iso2mesh:

http://iso2mesh.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi

 

So, while the file is not necessary for most things in FieldTrip, I deem it highly unlikely that it actually is malware. So probably it’s a false alarm. But you can delete the file without having troubles with FieldTrip (only if you want to create meshes yourself using this function, and the function is also only then used in special circumstances).

 

Best,

Jörn

Hi,

 

Sorry if this is a known issue but I'm new to FieldTrip.

 

Windows Defender detected gtsrefine.exe as malware on my computer. Is this file necessary for FieldTrip to function properly?
