    Microsoft's Windows Defender detects trojans in Microsoft's Visual Studio Code???

    Hi,

    I'm using Visual Studio Code to work with different scripts and code files. But today Windows Defender detected a file as a "threat":

    Trojan: PowerShell/Peasecto.A
    Alert level: Severe

    Status: Active

    Recommended action: Remove the threat now.

    Category: Trojan

    Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.

    file: C:\Users\Carlos\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-1.5.1\modules\PSScriptAnalyzer\PSScriptAnalyzer.psd1

    So... Microsoft's Windows Defender detects Microsoft's extension as a virus now?

    Cheers

    Windows Defender detects an .exe as Win32/Bitrep.A Trojan?

    OK, I had this software(earlier version) on another computer and never had it detected as a Trojan. I tried installing the latest version of this software on my new computer and it got detected as "Win32/Bitrep.A" Trojan after about a week of being installed
    and Windows Defender deleted it. I tried re-downloading and then scanned the installation exe with Windows Defender and it detected it as the same Trojan. I then tried re-downloading again and Windows Defender deleted it as soon as it finished downloading.
    The earlier version installation exe wasn't detected as a Trojan. I also tried a update exe to the software that wasn't the same version and nothing was detected. It seems to be with this certain version of the software or the update to this version. The developer
    recommended installing the free version of Avast. Once installed, I scanned the installation exe with Avast and nothing was detected. Is there a Trojan with the software? According to Windows Defender there is. According to Avast there isn't.

    Microsoft Defender Detects powershell trojan

    Trojan Detected in OneDrive


    Can I just make an observation here?

    From your pic, it appears that the executable OneDrive.exe has been flagged as a virus. This sounds like a FP (false positive) to me.

    I would suggest you upload that file to VirusTotal website and see what comes up there.

    I have the same file on my system in the same location and it's 536KB. I do not use OneDrive on this particular machine.

    I do not think you are infected with anything. Did TDSSKiller find anything on that file?
