virus detected

Post by Lembasts »

Product, version and build: Powershell Studio build 162
32 or 64 bit version of product: 64 bit
Operating system: windows 10
32 or 64 bit OS: 64 bit

Windows Defender definition version: 1.293.619.0

On one computer only, Windows defender is refusing to run an exe I compiled with powershell studio. It runs fine on other similar windows 10 computers.
It is detecting 'Trojan:Win32/Bearfoos.A!ml'.
I am treating it as a false positive. Just thought you'd like to know.
Thanks
David

It is likely a false positive. You should submit it to Microsoft for evaluation. Unfortunately we cannot do that for you.
Sometimes this also happens merely by the exe not being signed and time stamped.
