Had the same issue, looking at code branch this must be a false positive
Yes, the false positive has been an issue for a while. Unfortunately, not much I can do about it.
This behavior at least for me, is new as of this version. Defender wasn't attempting to quarantine on launch before this version.
It might be new to you, but I can't control when/if Windows Defender detects anything as a virus.
Since there is nothing to be done about this marking as closed.
Let's leave this open since other folks are likely to open similar issues in the future. To anyone who comes here in the future: it's a known issue that Windows Defender reports the app as a trojan. There isn't anything I can do to stop the way Windows Defender behaves. If you don't trust the pre-compiled release, feel free to download the source code and compile it yourself.
I submitted the zip to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission for 1.95.40.
Result here (took about an hour): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/submission/d7b2aeaa-325f-42d1-a769-e0bf0ced0dfd Just tested and confirmed it's no longer being detected.
Seems to work fine now, thanks devious.
Thanks Devious / Razzmatazzz, all good here after updating virus security "intelligence" to 1.323.2132.0, good work !
I ran into this issue as well, when I thought it was finally fixed I kept getting a message saying Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Any idea how to fix this so I can finally start using Save Manager?
I reported it as a false positive at the link devious21sf provided. I don't know if that will help, but it's all I can do.
When trying to run the latest version windows 10 warns the user and when run anyway stops the program and deletes it.
