Hi,

I have a G DATA Antivirus. When I run 'pip install pillow', I get a virus detection popup. Please find a log (translated by me from Polish) attached below:

Time started Type File name Status

File: C:\Users<my user name>\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-6wdns6nr\pillow\Tests\images\string_dimension.tiff
Virus: Generic.Exploit.CVE-2017-11255.A (Scanner B)
Scanners: Engine A: AVA 25.27239, Engine B: GD 27.20416

What did you do?

run 'pip install pillow'

What did you expect to happen?

well, install the package

What actually happened?

a virus popup

What are your OS, Python and Pillow versions?

• OS: Windows 10 Home

• Python: python --version
  Python 3.8.2

• Pillow: that's the issue

I contacted the GDATA and they need the file to send it to the lab. I could do it myself, but I think your project could benefit from knowing what exactly happened and if it's a false positive, then why. If not, delete this bug report.
