Password protected files - Borat - 08-08-2018
my antivirus did a scan and was unable to scan two files
File: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\python2.7\test\test_zipfile.pyc 73kb
File: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\python2.7\test\test_zipfile.pyo 73kb
is this cause for concern ?
RE: Password protected files - rich2005 - 08-09-2018
I do not think there is any concern. Why your AV is not able to scan, I do not know. The files do not have any different permissions to any of the other files.
Run the files through an on-line scanner such as VirusTotal. You get a result like this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8GNP7Ej.jpg Nothing found.

*.pyc and *.pyo are both generated on the fly when their source code is executed in certain ways. Nothing to worry about (and if you erase them they will come back
).
