[BUG] fastfetch from WinGet flagged as trojan by Windows Defender #1854
Description
Read the FAQ first
- I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered
Description
I was trying to upgrade fastfetch using WinGet to 2.48.1, but Windows Defender flags C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\UniGetUI\ElevatedWinGetTemp\WinGet\Fastfetch-cli.Fastfetch.2.48.1\fastfetch-windows-amd64.zip as trojan (Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml).
(I had fastfetch installed before, and it didn't flag version 2.47.0 which is the latest I have installed on my system)
