[QUOTE="blackice, post: 926763, member: 79035"] It’s the strangest thing. I can run a scan and watch files pop into their temp folder and almost every time 2 of them are detected by Microsoft Defender. Kind of interesting watching it happen in real time. According to Emsisoft they use that temp folder to unload the updated Bitdefender signatures. Definitely put my mind at ease about it being something else. Upon rereading their reply they say that is during the update, but I get the detection during a scan. So, maybe I need to revisit with Emsisoft. In fact I just realized both times I left the EEK ‘installer’ in my downloads folder. I think it’s possibly Defender detecting Emsisoft scanning it’s own install file. Similar to the thread [USER=74969]@plat1098[/USER] found. [/QUOTE]
