  1. Current Windows Update causes Misleading:Win32/Lodi flagging System Mechanic software


    Misleading:Win32/Lodi is detected by Microsoft Defender Antivirus for my System Mechanic software. This did not occur before I applied this latest update. I see that other software like CC Cleaner are also being flagging. This is an issue that Microsoft needs to address. Running scans using multiple products shows no malware on the system. I expect some kind of fix to this instead of identifying these files as PUS and having to over-ride the error. Has anyone else had this ? It did not flag Malwarebytes of Webroot so I'm thinking it's something with System Mechanic files. Any help here ?

    :)
