[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 954731, member: 32260"] Yes, I am sure that this false positive did not have anything to do with your notes. As Microsoft answered to my resubmission, the only reason was the management of Defender's real-time protection. This violated the new rules that were introduced by Microsoft to classify malware. A few months earlier the file was submitted to Microsoft for whitelisting (and was successfully whitelisted in June 2018). In September the file was accepted by SmartScreen. The false-positive occurred suddenly at the end of September 2018.
