2018/03/13: m-wallet-1.4.5.3 flagged as "Trojan:Win32/Bitrep.B" by Windows Defender on Windows 10.

Windows Defender information (which is REALLY no information at all) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/threat-search?query=trojan:win32/bitrep.b&2147723143&page=1&showall=false&sortby=relevance&sortdir=desc&size=10

Allowing it in Windows defender did not resolve. I had to clear the Windows Defender history before it allowed the wallet to run.

I trust this is a false flag? Can someone confirm this is a false flag by Windows Defender?

Everyone has been seeing this since this is a cryptocurrency wallet. Since mPOS is a miner of sorts, it sets off all antivirus flags when scanned. I have been running m-Wallet since December, and I have never had an issue. You should be okay.

Win32/Uwamson.A!ml Warning on Windows Defender. Installed Zip path to MagiCoin\m-wallet-1.4.6.2-win\m-wallet-1.4.6.2-win\bin\64\m-wallet.exe

The 32bit Version of m-wallet.exe was not detected by Windows Defender. As above is this a false positive too?

This is a false postive (as long as you built the exe yourself).

It could be malicious if you downloaded the exe from the internet.
