[Bug] Windows Defender detected Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml on Dorion executable #227

Closed headquarter8302 closed 2 months ago

headquarter8302 commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug While running the program, Windows Defender suddenly kicked in and flagged the executable as a severe malware under the Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml definition. This also immediately killed the client.

To Reproduce While I can't reproduce the issue anymore, this is how it got flagged:

  1. Open Dorion.

Expected behavior The program to run normally

Screenshots Screenshot 2024-04-24 045534

System Info (please complete the following information):

Additional context Programs are often flagged as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml due to them using specific compiler flags/instructions, I am wondering if you are using any that affects it

See #226, #196, or #182. Also see the note in the "Download" section of the README.

Dorion seems to live in Defenders head rent-free for some reason, and its had problems with it for many months lol. I don't plan to sign the .exe with Microsoft or something anytime soon, so users are encouraged to do VirusTotal scans of the program before they use it.

As for compiler flags, Dorion doesn't use anything special except for stripping debug info and enabling link-time optimizations.

Whoops, I didn't see any of those other issues, sorry
