Advice Request Windows Repair Toolkit

[ForgottenSeer 69673]

Was running an all update with WRT and got blasted with malware popups from Windows Defender. I count 24 at the time I stopped the update. Anyone else see this? It started when the updater got to the useful tools section.

Hi @ticklemefeet , @TairikuOkami is correct. The Nirsoft tools will cause alerts from the antivirus. Hence the messages,

when clicking the "Update All" button:

Spoiler

When clicking the "NirLauncher" button or one of the Nirsoft password/key recovery tools in the "Notes" section:

However, you can avoid downloading the Nirsoft Tools (or any other tool) all together by deselecting them in the settings for the "Update All" functionality. To access those settings, click the gear icon in front of the "Update All" button.
