    Windows "Real Time Protection" needs to stop false flagging everything as "wacatac"


    I'm extremely disappointed in Microsoft with their approach of using AI to make up detections and scare people into thinking they have viruses.Also for deleting completely safe files without the using consent.Also because "white-listing" does absolutely nothing, RTP still deletes the file.And the "protection history" is always EMPTY. Even after it just deleted my files.I have not once NOT ONCE found those "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml was a real virus.So it's only Microsoft doing this, you can analyze with virus total with 35 vendors and you are the only ones doing this.If Windows was some crapp

    Wacatac false positive outbreak?

    Hello, I'm Greg, here to help you with this.

    See Glen Prouty's post here about determining if Wacatac is a false positive and how to remove it:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    If/when in doubt, Defender gives adequate real time protection but when it finds something or you suspect you're infected, you'll want to roll out the bigger artillery to know you're getting the very best and most thorough scans. For this we should use the tech industry's undisputed leading scanners Malwarebyte on-demand protection for malware, and AdwCleaner for the lower level threats and PUPs.

    You can do this most thorough disinfection procedure to find and root out infection wherever it hides, then repair any system files that were corrupted:

    Then you will know for sure, and be rid of it either way.

    Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the results you post back, I will have other suggestions if necessary.
