Windows defender is falsely detecting it as Trojan #19

I had to be quick at getting the scan to figure out why Windows was immediately deleting this on download and I got this: https://imgur.com/Vcjdb3C

That is wrongly detected by the windows defender. I am currently trying to resolve that mistake.

You can add an exception for that file. If you want to make sure it is surely not a virus, upload it to Virustotal :)

We have removed the detection. Please follow the steps below to clear cached detection and obtain the latest malware definitions.

 1. Open command prompt as administrator and change directory to c:\Program Files\Windows Defender 
 2. Run “MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures”
 3. Run "MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate"

Alternatively, the latest definition is available for download here: https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/manage-updates-baselines-microsoft-defender-antivirus

Thank you for contacting Microsoft.

So it should stop getting detected as Trojan 😄
