Windows Defender Detection

[Vackipleur]

Hi,

Today, Windows Defender has detected FantasyGround.exe as a Trojan virus (Trojan:Win32/Azden.A!cl (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?Name=Trojan:Win32/Azden.A!cl)).
Am I alone ? :)

Windows Defender scans my machine every day, and I haven't had any notices. Also, I haven't seen any reports on the forum.
Perhaps it got infected from another program?

To be safe, you could delete the file in the FG app directory, and re-run the FGUpdaterEngine.exe file to redownload the latest from our server.

I can confirm as "Moon Wizard" says Windows Defender isn't your problem.
I have Windows Defender too and have no problems (windows with all updates, last update was last Tuesday 2017-10-10 and nothing changed) :(

I've done that but Defender erased the new file... Finally I've set a folder exception and made a new update. But it's very strange :confused:

I experienced a similar problem. Windows Defender has a history of returning high false positives (and AV-Tests recent results (https://www.proficientblogging.com/windows-defender-vs-avast/) confirm this). Try disabling Windows Defender to solve the issue.

Welcome to the forums Umairee95

Never disable your security software to try to "solve" issues. Only ever do it for a very short time to see if that software is causing the issues. Most (all?) security software will have the ability to put an app on a whitelist or somesuch - just do that for FantasyGrounds.exe, and keep an eye on any future possible blockages by the security software.
