    That is meaningless. It is a false positive.

    Windows defender would rather be really aggressive and stop all viruses, than to accidentally let one slip by. So it will report things that aren't viruses, as viruses. Edit: And also, Windows Defender comes up with these names, not me. I have nothing by that name in my mod.

    If something was truly a virus, then 20+ antiviruses would report it as such.

    Anyway, this conversation is getting old, and I'd like to ask you to stop posting about this in the thread, it's getting too off-topic.

    Ok it might not be a virus but why name it the name of a virus?


    Edit:Ok fine i will stop becouse you do have a point


    Edit 2:And im sorry for starting this i just saw it was close to a real virus and i would rather not have my PC infected


    Edit 3:Why would WD name it the name of a real virus?


    Edit-jacob1: If you want to keep discussing it, send me a message, I just want it out of the forum thread

    Yes. It did that to me too. annoying ain't it? Just nuke disable windows defender, and then download it. Once it's downloaded, go the the settings and add an exception to the virus scan, and then re enable it.
