logan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Hello, today Windows Defender has found a threat when launching Launchbox. I have attached two screenshots with the details. Have someone suffered this problem? I think that must be a false positive but for now I've quarantined launchbox.exe Edit: Launchbox latest beta (23/08/2020) Edited August 24, 2020 by logan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 What version are you running? I use Windows Defender myself and none of the releases have been flagged for me. It is possible though that you do have a virus on your system that went out and infected other EXEs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Hi Jason. I use the latest beta version of launchbox. Never have any problem since a lot of years usin it. I doubt my system is infected. I've checked the full system with booth, Windows Defender (updated) and Malwarebytes (updated) with zero problems. I'm very careful with the security and don´t install untrsuted applications. I don't enter in 'estrange' pages either. It is very weird beacuse the threat jumped not at launching Launchbox but when I was trying to add a new image to a game (when push add button). I've launched other applications to see if a virus was infecting other exes but all seems normal and Windows Defender does not detect anything.

Jason Carr Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It is possible that the most recent beta had a false positive. I'm in the middle of putting out the official release and I'm running into awful issues with false positives, so I'm guessing that's what happened. I'm surprised that I can run Windows Defender and create the EXE without issues, and then later gets triggered, but it is what it is I guess.

logan Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Hi again. In case it helps, I've passed a complete exam from Windows Defender and it detects the above betas as threat: 11.3-beta-12 11.3-beta-14 11.3-beta-15 11.3-beta-16 11.3-beta-17 I don't think so but could be something related to the new .net?
