Trojan:Win32/Critet.BS - False positive from Defender?
ergo:
I'm not sure what message you mean. I pasted it below. I thought it was pretty clear.
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.
Boggin:
I didn't see the relevance of your main paragraph in relation to the thread - I was responding to the last one regarding the repair program.
ergo:
OK, I'll try to make it really simple.
Cyberspace is hacking us everywhere you turn. Facebook isn't safe. Mcafee isn't safe. Cyberspace is attacking us in all different directions. I've been personally hacked in a number of ways over the years.
I liked your program (until I was blocked from using it) but why in the *.* am I supposed to open up the floodgates to rate Tweaking as a trusted product to do what it wants?
Honestly, I don't know why you don't understand me because it's completely obvious to me that it's not our job to develop work-arounds so your product works in any way that we may or may not understand?
Jeez. I really hope you'll stop telling me you still don't understand what I'm saying because it is so obvious. Rani
Boggin:
If you read the thread, it's the Admins who have been doing the work to get this fixed and the repair program has been proven to be safe.
Tell me - what has this got to do with what is has been reported from those who use the repair program -

No one has mentioned the suspicion about Kaspersky and has no bearing on MS antivirus programs blocking the program - Facebook doesn't come into and neither does data collection or Trump getting elected.
Now do you see why I was questioning this ?
When Norton Security kicked out the .exe on mine, I knew it was a false positive and had no qualms about white listing the website to reinstall the program.

You are correct. the internet is not safe. Not at all. Nothing is sacred and your need to be aware of everything. You need to choose what you install very carefully.
You are also correct that this issue is not your problem and something we need to solve with Microsoft.
Our problem is that it is 100% a problem with Microsoft and we are trying to relay the information.
You can choose to whitelist it or not - but it should be cleared in all their definitions soon. I know they are working on it.
