    I have a question does virus total is a garbage because it detects anything as trojan. I downloaded from official website for some customisation like blur mica dll explorer from official git hub page and a rainmeter skin from official rainmeter website and some virus total enginees detect it as trojan. What is the problem of virus total.

    :)

    False positive for desktop shortcut scanner.lnk

    The 1.239.488.0 virus / spyware definition update that rolled out about 24 hours ago appears to be producing a false positive for any shortcut placed on the desktop called "Scanner.lnk". I can consistently replicate a false positive for Trojan:Win32/FakeSysdef
    with the following steps.

    • Create a shortcut to an exe file.
    • Place the shortcut on the desktop.
    • Name the shortcut "Scanner".
    • Run "Quick Scan".
    I don't get the same result by directly scanning the file, nor by uploading the file to www.virustotal.com, so it would appear this is as a result of a heuristic rather than a file content analysis. I also don't get the same result with a shortcut that links
    to a website.

    Can anyone else replicate? How can we go about getting the Windows Defender team to reconsider this heuristic? It's a bit heavy-handed.

  3. Questioning a false positive for a Windows Defender virus scan

    Anytime you suspect a possible
    false positive
    or you want a second opinion, submit it to one of the online services that analyzes suspicious files. There are also number of web resources (URL Link Scanners) which can be used to check suspicious/unfamiliar
    sites or get second opinions.
