Malware in GNU radio ?

maxaw

Hello,

I am trying to install GNU radio on Windows 11, it is a widespread and open-source signal processing software, from the official website. It redirects me to this git repository https://github.com/ryanvolz/radioconda but each time the installation process is interrupted by Bitdefender and I get this message.

The file C:\ProgramData\radioconda2\pkgs\libairspyhf-1.6.8-h2466b09_1\Library\bin\airspyhf.dll is infected with Gen:Variant.Lazy.189143 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.

The problem seems to come from the airspyhf.dll file but this is rather strange because it is a well-known software and I downloaded it from the official repository. Is it really infected or could it be a false positive? In that case, how can I still manage to install the software?

Thanks in advance for your answer
