    We develop a SIGNED with an EV Cert from DigiCert application that we distribute to our users in the form of a Wix MSI that is being incorrectly flagged as Win32/Wacatac.B!ml.VirusTotal shows nothing from any other vendor.This has been an issue before: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/defender-shows-that-our-software-contains/10572dee-514e-4716-90cb-cdc54e1c03c3This is having a direct impact on our ability to release on Windows and is forcing us to reconsider Windows as a viable platform altogether.What is the solution here?

  2. Trojan Script Wacatac B!ml

    Hi,

    I am using Windows 11.I went to a hotel website , trying to make a reservation , after entering the dates, pressed check availability or check rates , A red screen came up , with a virus warning, Windows defender detected it. I quarantine it and said Detected : Trojan Script Wacatac B!ml, severe.

    I used Windows defender to remove the trojan and now the status showed : a threat or app was Removed from this device.

    based on this information, can I assume that this trojan is gone forever, or it's still hiding somewhere.

    Thank you.

    False Positive by Windows Defender ? Win32/Critet.BS

    @G_963

    Found thread in ZHPCleaner forum.

    Dectection du trojan :Win32/Critet.BS

    Dectection du trojan :Win32/Critet.BS

    Updated Windows Defender definitions to 1.263.740.0 and downloaded ZHPCleaner from author's site. It passed security scan so hopefully the issue has been resolved with false positives.

    Try manually updating through Windows Defender Security Center - Virus and Treat Protection Updates and determine if supercopier is still detected.

    Wacatac false positive outbreak?

    I've noticed lately that windows defender starts to mark almost all my zip files as risky because they supposedly contain Wacatac. The interesting thing is that I can create a compressed file of images, videos or files without problems... There is no virus threat in any of the files that I am compressing. I even scan them again using VirusTotal.com(the uncompressed files and the zip file). I upload the zipped file to my drive(One drive or Google drive) to download it on another computer. And that's when it happens, Windows Defender prevents the download of the compressed file because of the Wacatac.H!ml virus alert. Is this a bug? or is it due to something else?

    Note: just to prevent useless suggestions. i used microsoft safety scanner, i also did a complete scan with 2 different antivirus software and also used anti adware software. I don't have viruses.
