    My software is wrongly beeing flagged as virus


    Hello,


    I work on a company that provides a software to sync data from our clients server to our cloud.


    About 10 days ago, Windows Defender started flagging our application as trojan and PUA potentially unwanted application, and because of this, our customer can't download and install our software.


    OBVIOUSLY our software DON'T have any kind of viruses or trojan or anything like, but still, Windows Defender is preventing our customer to use it.


    What can I do to "prove" to windows defender that my installer is not a virus? I can't find any guide or article about this.

    :)

    Software, NOT a virus, being flagged and removed by Defender

    An old game that worked fine yesterday is suddenly being flagged and removed by Defender.

    What do I do if Defender has a problem with software I know is legit?

    Will Microsoft take reports on this and make changes to Defender?

    The only way it could be Malware is if there's a tricky virus that can insert itself into this software, even as I download it fresh from the website. Is that even possible?

    The game in question is a Kingdom for Keflings:

    A Kingdom for Keflings!
