Checking antivirus
Answered
Why is PyCharm executing commands like "wmic /Namespace:\\root\SecurityCenter2 Path AntivirusProduct Get displayName,productState"?
What is the business of PyCharm or Jetbrains what is the product or state of users antivirus?
This is triggering alerts on our SIEM.
This is a violation of privacy, and unprofessional.
