My windows defender said it has a Trojan and erased it.
Just an attack of hysteria?
Someone else?

I compiled it from the source and have no issues (macOS).fern wrote:My windows defender said it has a Trojan and erased it.

My rule of thumb is to listen to your gut - if you think there might be a problem. chances are, there is a problem. You instinctively learn from past experiences and you should follow that. Some of my worse decisions ever made were when I did not pay attention to what my instincts were telling me.fern wrote:It is not 1,1 the one with supposedly a trojan, but 1,0

Yes, intuition is greatly useful in life, and sometimes makes you do counter-intuitive things you'd never have done, and the reason may not be obvious at first, or even long term, but at some point, the explanation of why going with your gut was best arises, so I no longer do the most logical things if I get a bad feeling about them.MikeB wrote:My rule of thumb is to listen to your gut - if you think there might be a problem. chances are, there is a problem.
That's what I don't like with windows defender. Keeps on deleting some important binary onfern wrote:My windows defender said it has a Trojan and erased it.

The thing also uses system resources like CPU and RAM, causing general slowdown. Plus, the first time I installed Windows 10 and used their Edge Browser, I was infected by a trojan, so Windows Defender did nothing.MikeGL wrote:That's what I don't like with windows defender.

VirusTotal giving 0 and hence clean. But Windows Defender keeps on removing it,
probably mistaken as keyGen by Windows Defender. Quite an irritating feature,
when I don't have any control of my system anymore.
True. Better to just disable that thing and use an alternative AV software.Ovyron wrote:The thing also uses system resources like CPU and RAM, causing general slowdown.

At least the thing is easy to shut down.
