PyCharm File Quarantined Due to Detected Trojan

jmmaina777

I am using PyCharm 2021 professional edition. A few days ago, the following file was quarantined by bitdefender:

\JetBrains\PyCharm2021.3\index\trigram.index\fileIdToHashId

Bitdefender says PyCharm's file is infected with Trojan.Generic.1397772.

As a result, file indexing, linting etc are affected in PyCharm. Does it mean that PyCharm is infected with a Trojan and that puts my work at risk or even worse that the work itself may be compromised and by extension all other users of the same work? How do I handle this issue?

Hi jmmaina777,

Do you think you can archive the suspected file, password protect the archive with the password "infected" and send it to us to take a better look?

Thank you,
