Important #2357

Ok. I just wanted to say that OP isn't the only one who got this Windows Defender report. I also got it, and had to put the .exe under "allowed threats" to keep it around. So yeah, seems like something went wrong with the 2.5 release. Saying it now while I still can before this thread also gets locked. |
They need to trust me and test how im saying |
He is right that if you directly upload the file, and don't do a URL scan, Virustotal throws two hits. But this is nothing new. If you go through Bizhawk history you'll find plenty of versions flagged as malware. It's usually pissy about the Waterbox binaries because they use weird memory manipulation shenanigans. This is just failing heuristics, not an actual infection. There's nothing to be worried about OP. As an additional note, the file getting flagged by Defender is the main binary. |
Seconding NarryG's comment, I had the same findings that the URL scan gives different results from uploading the zip, and 2.4.2 gets hit by one of the same heuristics as 2.5. Edit: to be clear I also agree with zeromus' assessment here, there's no possible way this is actually malware |
One hit from microsoft on virustotal doesn't count, and microsoft's quality is not spectacular if it can find malware in the exe but not in the exe in the zip so it doubly doesn't count |
