MATLAB: How to unblocked deployed application blocked by antivirus

antivirusdeployedMATLAB Compilerstandalone

I can not run a deployed application because the antivirus blocks it.

The application works fine in MATLAB and it succesfully compiles, but when I try to execute (I try 'for_testing' and 'for_redistribution') the antivirus 'OfficeScan' treats it as a malware.

matlabVersion

9.3.0.713579 (R2017b)

extendedOS

Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

javaVersion

Java 1.8.0_121-b13 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode

How can I fix this?

In order to fix this issue, consult with "OfficeScan" team to help allowing standalone application.

The following articles on their website that will also be helpful-

Allow standalone application in "OfficeScan" behavior monitoring

Configuring the Trusted Program List

Another possible workaround would be to compile the program without embedding the CTF archive into binaries-

>> mcc -C -m options mfilename

The issue here seems to be with the "startup.m" file. "startup.m" is executed at the beginning of the compilation process. If the code in "startup.m" hangs, then the compilation will also hang.

Please check that commands that wait for user input are not included in "startup.m".

MATLAB: How to retrieve the version number of a standalone application created using MATLAB application compiler

For MATLAB releases R2019b or later:

Standalone application file version (Windows only) is available since R2019b. The version value can be reviewed by right clicking on the EXE file, selecting "Properties" and then selecting "Details".

For MATLAB releases before R2019b:

When installing a standalone application using web installer, the web installer shows the version number of a standalone application. However, there is no way to retrieve the version number of a standalone application after installing it using web installer. The developers are informed of this enhancement. One workaround to this issue could be to include the following command in a MATLAB script and then compiling it to a standalone application:

>> h = msgbox('Version number: <your_app_version_number>');

In this case, replace <your_app_version_number> with whatever version number you want to display with the message (ex: V1.02).

This will display a message box containing version number of an application on a deployment machine.

Alternatively, you can also include a code in your MATLAB script to write a text file which contains information regarding author, version and so on. For that, "fprintf" command in MATLAB can be used.
