miqo has troijan in it??

[ValkyParticipant]

Hey!
My windows did an update during night and this morning I noticed miqobot was removed by windows defender.
When I try to instal it again (from here, not any shady website) windows recodnises it as a virus and when I check the details and make an exeption for it, it litellary says it’s a troijan.
wtf is going on?

Edit: added a pic as proof, seems forum does not show pictures so it’s just a file.

Its a false positive. Always happened always will. Just whitelist and move on.

And btw it was already asked yesterday: https://miqobot.com/forum/forums/topic/virustrojan-win32wacatac-bml/

Yes, this is expected behaviour.

Miqobot uses functions that Anti-Virus softwares find suspicious, and pretty much every game or software use these kinds of functions too, but usually most companies report their programs to the Anti-Virus companies long in advance so they’re not detected as possible threats.
However, AV-companies often take very long to whitelist stuff and it’s often very troublesome, which is why Miqo doesn’t bother with that anymore and people are just instructed to whitelist Miqo, as this behaviour is expected.

This statement is incorrect.
Miqobot Team is doing everything possible to alleviate the issue with antiviruses.

We always inform antivirus vendors about False Positives, and Miqobot project is also subscribed to premium VirusTotal services that send automatic notifications to them.
If you upload Miqobot to VirusTotal, you may notice that our executables are published in the VirusTotal Monitor collection:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2064947885daaf35a7b77faf3e08601f223903894a49b401a00ab7e423e10bed/

However, we have no affiliation with antivirus vendors and have no access to their source code, therefore we can not help them fix this problem. It’s entirely up to them when and how to address it.
