B4J Question Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml

[marcick]

I have transferred on my Win11 PC the folder of a B4J server app that I was developing on another machine and Windows defender warned me about this trojan.
Anything to worry about ?

No. 99.99% certainty it's a false positive

Certainly it could be a false positive

B4J server app

But take into account that you are transferring files from one PC into another, one of all those files could certainly be in infected.

Usually the ides are detected as false positives but not the projects themselves.

It is a false positive.

If you are distributing an unsigned executable then it will be flagged by Windows Defender. It can happen with newly signed executables as well. Whenever I release a new version of the IDE, someone sees such a message and it is resolved automatically after a few days.

Hi I got this notification from my windows defender Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml. Can this be false positive because I know from wich file this is from. After I deleted it this started appearing. If this can be a virus can anyone help me remove it.
