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

--- Quote from: ergo on March 29, 2018, 02:23:05 am ---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.

You may need to reinstall and use it in Safe Mode with Networking or use a different antivirus program until MS get this sorted out.
If you have computer problems that you need to run the program, then open a thread in the Computer Help section.

Thanks, Boggin, but I was just giving a straight answer to someone who expressed concern about what many are experiencing. As I wrote, there is a lot of wiggy stuff going on and I think it's good to be careful. Far as I'm concerned, turning off my virus protection is not an option.
I have no problem with my computer. It's a brand new Dell, raided, 64 GB RAM, I take good care of it.
This problem is between Microsoft and its response to Tweaking software
Boggin:
You can white list the program in your antivirus program - I had to do that for a short while when Norton Security kicked out the .exe.
ergo:
Boggin, I think you must have read my message quickly and not processed what I said. :)

I was just giving a solution to be able to run the program without turning your AV program off - which point did I miss ?
