Trojan:Win32/Critet.BS - False positive from Defender?
fabrikator:
ergo,
Microsoft fixed the false positive issue with virus update v1.263.1709.0, and there is nothing wrong with Windows Repair v4.0.15 now.
If you are still having problems installing, then you have other problems, not MSSE or Windows Repair, perhaps with something YOU are
doing wrong.
Boggin:
@ ergo - I've removed your duplicate post and sorry to hear you are still having problems which are beyond Tweaking's control as you will have noted by fabrikator's post.
If you need to run the program then you can reinstall and run it in Safe Mode with Networking.
ergo:
Thanks, Boggin,
It's not worth the risk doing a workaround, given MS lists it as having a severe threat level that opens computers up to hackers.
I have no idea if this is relevant but around that time my computer became a lot slower.
I'm about to unsubscribe to this, since I can't use it. Thanks again
Boggin:
It could be worth doing a scan with the free version of MBAM but MS has released some updates to counter Meltdown and Spectre which can impact performance on some machines.
It could also be the antivirus still checking what's left of the program.

I have its service set to Manual from Auto so it doesn't auto run in the background.

All I did was tell you my position. I value my privacy a lot.
Not, the latest update of the MS virus checker did not fix the install.
I actually don't care. I just passed on my own thought process about why I was unwilling to whitelist the program. And I am taken aback that you think there is something that is wrong with that.
But again, I don't care. It's not worth my time to deal with it. I still can't use Tweaking even though it's the only program in my computer that stopped working. And yes, I still believe that it is not my responsibility to deal with the clash between MS and Tweaking. Tweaking represented itself as working closely with Microsoft, but obviously it isn't. Again, after updating MS and Tweaking, it still doesn't work. And honestly I don't care because this was never personal for me, just something to chat about. Bye. Rani

It may have been read personally but I didn't intend it so. I agree with you. As an end user it is not your worry to get involved - it's our problem.
My issue with the whole "false positive" industry. This crap happens all the time and although Tweaking is always clean when someone sees a detection from a Microsoft is always will hurt our rep, weather we are right or wrong.
