Windows Defender keeps uninstalling I2Pd saying it is Trojan

[absolutep]

Windows 10 Defender keeps uninstalling I2Pd saying it is a Trojan.

After every restart of the computer this happens.

I have paid antivirus software and it does not mention anything like this ever, even after I forcefully scanned whole I2Pd.

Why does this happen? Any workaround or solution to this?

Сегодня Windows Defender (Windows 10) ругается на 2.57, Trojan:Script/Ulthar.A!ml.
На предыдущие 2 релиза сегодняшний Defender не ругается, зато Firefox необоснованно подозревает наличие зловреда в i2pd_2.56.0_win64_mingw.zip и i2pd_2.55.0_win64_mingw.zip.

А у меня 11 ый ругается на собранный на месте из исходников.

This error still persists as of August 2025.
I have to keep installing I2Pd repeatedly every week, that is the only solution that works.

spyware?

spyware?

No, it's Microsoft's false positive.
React this way even to a binary built locally from source.
You can try yourself.

AT THE MOMENT, THIS SEEMS TO WORK SO CLOSING IT.
