Windows Defender false positive #22
Comments
I'm unable to add an exclusion through the Windows Defender control panel. |
I have been able to add exceptions to it, so the DOS programs can run without problems. But because Windows Defender almost "works on its own", after a few days it will put the files again in quarantine, and I need to add the exception again. It wont keep that rule for too long, I dont know why. Windows 10 Pro / 64bit |
Windows Defender is a real pest, I disabled it on my machines, and they are very uncooperative on reported false positives. Vendor | Days | Result | Comment Given that table, Microsoft did fix their signatures, however I once submitted ldntvdm.dll as a false positive and didn't get a reply at all that they fixed it. But if enough users submit it for whitelisting, maybe they will fix it. The problem is that I often do new builds of the loader when I fix something and then it may drop off from whitelisting and gets flagged again, but I hope the loader is stable enough now so that we can request a whitelisting. Anyone of you wants to report the false positive to MS? |
I scanned the recent loader.dlls and Windows defender doesn't flag them as bad, do you use the most recent loader and what false positives do you get? |
Hi. I just wanted to say that I am also getting a false positive from Windows Defender. I also want to make a whitelist report if your reporting isn't enough. |
Hi, You can submit files for analysis here: I didn't have success with this method when I first tried, at least no answer There is also e-mail submission to avsubmit@submit.microsoft.com |
As it turns out, Windows Defender thinks ntvdmx64.dll and ntvdmx64.exe are viruses. It doesn't like old-src.trunk.r687.20150728.7z or old-sdk.trunk_r57.20150728.7z either. I don't see the false positives for these being lifted ever, seeing that they're not 100% legal and such.
