Hello,

I don't know if its correspond here but I was trying to install uiautomator2, and it contains progress. When was the turn to install this library, Windows blocked the progress installation through RAV antivirus -I think that this antivirus came installed through MeMU, that I installed before to try install uiautomator2- and it threw:

C:\Users\bryan>pip install uiautomator2 --upgrade

When I tried to install progress for itself it gave to me:

C:\Users\bryan\Downloads>pip install progress-1.6.tar.gz
Processing c:\users\bryan\downloads\progress-1.6.tar.gz
  ERROR: Error [WinError 225] No se pudo completar la operación porque el archivo contiene un virus o software potencialmente no deseado while executing command python setup.py egg_info
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 225] No se pudo completar la operación porque el archivo contiene un virus o software potencialmente no deseado

I realized that this antivirus ('RAV') was installed the same day that MeMU, so I think that it was not because of a Windows updated.
It didn't look logic, and I didn't trust on what I found in Google.

So, my question is:

Are there any possibility that progress could be rejected by Windows ? Or it was probably just a possible virus from MeMU?

Sorry for the question and if it doesn't correspond here, but just I want to be sure, or at least if one person happen the same could find this post.

Best Regards.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
