Trojan:Win32/Critet.BS - False positive from Defender?

<< < (9/17) > >>

Still_Game:
Thanks, JPM -  it's odd, I agree. Malwarebytes Premium doesn't have a problem with it, either. I'm surprised that there aren't more posts about this on this forum, which I would have thought there would be if it was a widespread problem. Any way it could be caused by specific factors on the affected PCs?

I'm on Windows 10 (1709 with latest updates) and the standard Windows Defender flags the main executable as a positive.

Possibly related to this thread: Safe Mode = No Go , I experienced the following just this morning:

* I wanted to check something with Windows Repair, so I restarted the PC in Safe Mode
* In Safe mode, the Windows Repair Systray tool was active, but starting the main tool didn't do anything
* After some investigation, I realized that the main executable was missing from the installation folder
* During re-installation, it became clear to me that Defender removes it, leaving behind a mamed Windows Repair

Boggin:
MS have supposed to have fixed it for WD.

You can still download the program and run it in Safe Mode with Networking, bearing in mind that from Win 8/8.1 Windows disables wireless in that mode, although it can be re-enabled.

I JUST updated to the latest 1.263.1584.0 def from Microsoft  and it is showing as clean. Finally!

Our best guess -- and it is just a guess but a guess from experience - is that there was something wrong with the defs over the weekend and they fixed it. Then it looks like they rolled it back - then fixed it again. Probabaly having to fix the fix. But, now it looks fixed. ;)

Problem is not everyone updates at the same time and it can take a few days to roll out.

OK, jpm 

I tried v4.0.1.5 again with MSSE update v1.263.1584.0 AND newer v1.263.1587.0 and I am STILL getting flagged.

I'm done posting screen shots, you will just have to take my word for it.

SO ... let us see if we are on the same page  ... it does make a difference.

I use Windows 7 PRO with Microsoft Security Essentials ... NOT Windows Defender

What are YOU using to get an "all clear"  ??

Please reply

Thanks,

fab
