    What is Joke:Win32/ScreenMate in Windows security


    I have downloaded this thing called bluescreen simulator, and windows security has flagged it, and is saying that "Detected" is "Joke:Win32/ScreenMate". What does "Joke:Win32/ScreenMate" mean? and is it an issue?

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    See the article below for more information about this threat.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/ma...

    It's not much. But I think it's really relevant.

    I suggest not installing or running this app again.

    As Windows Security blocked it in time, I don't think there are any threats on your computer. But it's a good idea to do a full scan, just in case.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.

    WMPlayer win32 error

    List the EXACT "blah, blah" you mention, here please... for ALL installation cases!

    (Sound like a possible "DLL-Hell" issue, but "Windows File Protection" &/or "System File Protection" should have countered for this... no biggie, there's ways around that too!)

    *Smile What is Joke:Win32/ScreenMate in Windows security :)

    * I have to 'step-out' now, but imo, this is the track to pursue here, & we will when I get back... so, please list that data I request!
