Microsoft Defender alarms #432

Closed antaeusdk closed 2 months ago

What happened?

When executing the zen.exe, 4 alarms go off with Microsoft Defender. It resulted in my computer getting isolated. zenbrowser The reason for this bug report, is just to let you know how much noise it makes in a cloud based corporate setup.

I can not provide logs, since I was ordered to remove all traces of the browser from my computer. The installer was blocked by a function called Attack Surface Reduction, since the installer seemed to create child processes. The portable opened just fine, but gave the alerts listed above.

Have a good day :)

Are there plans to do the signing of keys soon? Probably a lot of potential users are currently put off of Defender systems (on all systems) throwing warnings because of missing publisher keys/information.
