Windows Defender antivirus alert for Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler #862

Closed loperto closed 3 years ago

loperto commented 3 years ago

I created a simple application in net 5 that uses this library to schedule another application's update check. But after building the application windows defender detects a threat with Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler library: image I have removed the TaskScheduler library from the project and win defender finds no threats.

Any ideas?

This seems to happen with each new framework I add to the library. This is scanned with two AV scanners before pushing as well as through a code analyzer for security weaknesses. If you choose "Allow on device" it reports back to Microsoft. I'll also submit it to them for review. Thanks for the heads up. This doesn't happen on my dev/test machine.

I just pushed an update (2.9.0). Will you try it and let me know if it produces the errors you reported?

loperto commented 3 years ago

Very strange: now with same old version 2.8.21 i have no threats. I had not allowed the previous version of my application in windows defender. It's possibile that microsoft updates have fixed it?

dahall commented 3 years ago

Yes. I submitted it to MS for review.
