Trojan:Win32/Critet.BS - False positive from Defender?
jpm:
Right.. Now you see the dilemma.
I suppose Guinness or a class a rant is in order.
I filed a dispute with them just now. It felt funny filing a dispute on a clean file but... we live in funny times. ;)
fabrikator:
Well, if I were a software developer like Tweaking.com, and I had a program that I knew was clean, and Microsoft Security Essentials kept
flagging it for a virus, I would be all over Microsoft like flies on poop !
Is there another way us users could contact Microsoft on this issue other than the "submissions" page ??
Or could Tweaking.com just create another updated version of Windows Repair to fix this ?
Like I have mentioned before, v4.0.14 is NOT affected by all this crap.

Well, the problem is THEY are Microsoft and we are a couple of guys. So in you analogy - we are the poop. :)
The antivirus world is like this though. You guys are just seeing this one right now. But it is very common for all the smaller authors. Don;t get me started on the whole PUP bullsh*t going on out there now.
I did hear back from tech support who confirmed there is no detection.
They recommended this:
--- Quote --- Please try the following steps to clear cached detections 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”
--- End quote ---
can someone try it and let me kknow.

Anything similar for MSE?
ergo:
Given this really weird time in cyberspace, I have gotten way more careful. For example, the strong evidence now that the virus checker Kaspersky has been spying in our country's computers, got a 60 minutes sessions about the associated risks, and the US govt has banned it and required that every government agency that installed it must prove they removed it from their computers. Or how about Facebook - not only is it clearly established that most of the communications on Facebook were fake bot software, but one of the board members at Facebook openly worked with Cambridge Analytica to find ways to help Trump get elected.
I like Tweaking, my sense is that it is a good and straight-forward product (and sadly can't use even though I paid for the subscription) but I just need to bend over backwards. I've been hacked too many times in too many ways over the years.
