[QUOTE="plat, post: 926684, member: 74969"] Is it [URL='https://support.emsisoft.com/topic/34417-windows-defender-alerts-about-trojan-at-the-end-of-eek-malware-scan/']this[/URL] thread you're referring to? That was already in December 2020 and it's still happening. Hmmm. Well it wouldn't do much good to log into there only to say, "hey, here's another Trojan notification from Defender after running EEK" b/c the rep maintains it's on Microsoft's end. If I was using EEK presently, this would turn me right off. I mean: who needs this? Would it be worth submitting a false-positive [URL='https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/antivirus-false-positives-negatives']report[/URL] to Microsoft? Probably someone already did. :unsure::whistle::coffee: Annoying, imo. [/QUOTE]
