The file cmk-update-agent.exe is build using pyinstaller, which might cause a false positive from antivirus software.
Now, to prevent such false positives, this file is obfuscated during creation and Windows agent MSI installation file shouldn't cause false positives anymore.
The Windows Agent will automatically remove obfuscation from the file after own installation and/or update.
Also, Checkmk software installer removes obfuscation locally from the file to provide valid Windows executable file for downloading from WATO web page.
