Windows Defender Detects Virus (Trojan:Win32/Spursint.Q!cl) in 1.9.1 release #63

Closed juancb closed 2 years ago

I found this via the official MSFS site and downloaded the 1.9.1 binary archive MSFS_MCA_v1-9-1.zip and as soon as I did Windows defender popped up complaining that it contained a virus.

The reported virus is: Trojan:Win32/Spursint.Q!cl

You might want to check your build

Thanks for letting me know! This is quite strange, however. Could it be that you're running Windows 11?

I always wait a few days after compiling the EXE because I've had false-positive reports with the first couple of versions. I check the file on my PC (MS Defender with the latest 1.353.449.0 definitions) and on virustotal.com The file is clean (except for SecureAge APEX which I will clarify today - a thing I've already done with a previous version).

Nevertheless I will file a false-positive report to Microsoft. It takes about a half a day for them to clear the file. I'll report back.

I've just got a word back from Microsoft. This is what they wrote:

We cannot reproduce any detection on the file. If the detection is still observed, follow the steps below to capture support log files from the system reporting detection.

On Windows 10, from elevated command prompt, change to directory "%programfiles%\windows defender" and execute mpcmdrun.exe with option GetFiles: cd "%programfiles%\windows defender" mpcmdrun.exe -GetFiles

All created log files will be compressed into MPSupportFiles.cab. Please send us the detected file and MPSupportFiles.cab using https://aka.ms/wdsi. We will continue the investigation once we receive the support log files.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft.

Please try to rescan it again using the latest definitions and let me know. Thanks!

FWIW, I am running the new version on Win 11 with Norton. It runs fine with no indication of any viruses.

I updated my windows defender definitions and it's no longer complaining when I try downloading 1.9.1.

Sorry for the wild goose chase.
