Hey Everyone,
Microsoft Defender Antivirus is now alerting and blocking yt-dlp (2021.09.02) for being a trojan.
I have scanned the application on Virus Total, and the results show clean.
It appears this isn't being flagged for a known virus signature, but Defender apparently has some cloud based AI now which is determining if an application is safe or not.
The previous build didn't have this issue, so I'm assuming its a change that was brought in. Just reviewing the release notes for this release, the only thing that I could think it could be is the sponsor blocker API is being flagged as a command and control server?
