Heads up! Trojan in (Windows) Plate Recognizer software.

[Joe P]

Just as an FYI. If your using plate recognizer, the windows download from GitHub has malware in it. This URL (marcbelmont/deep-license-plate-recognition)

** Could be a false positive, but a MSAV/Trend/Sophos is reading it as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.D4!ml **

Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but generally github being open source means that this stuff is found quickly. Maybe the file hasn't had enough downloads and the virus tracker is flagging a false positive. Many programs do that for Blue Iris too...

Try running it through this:

VirusTotal
