  2. C# EXE and MSI considered as trojan by Windows Defender on Windows 10

    Hi,

    I developed a C# exe and a service (Windows Service). Few Windows 10 machines flag that as having Trojan Win32\Critet.BS. Which is false positive. Is there a way to report that to Microsoft and know what
    might be causing it.

    Reason is for a user seeing this warning by Defender is scary. Any link/tutorial or suggestions will be helpful

    Both the file extension are not supported by Nokia mobiles.



    .exe : are for windows operating system

    .rar : file compressing software extension.



    Suggest u to unrar in ur laptop and then transfer to mobile.



    regards

    Trouble extracting Rar files

    make sure you are extracting it to the place your looking and not a default rar folder where they all go.

    just to be sure, create a new folder on your desktop then drag the rar file onto it and drop it in. then open the "new folder" you created and then select "extract here"

    if its not there after that then you have a bad or incomplete rar file and you will have to redownload it or another file containing the same exe file you want.

    as a rule it is best to never download zip or rar files as they are often viruses so be carefull
