B60.1.5 installer triggers Microsoft Defender

[kholt]

I had to turn off Microsoft Defender in order to download or run the installer as it was flagged as a virus.

Obviously I wasn’t too concerned. However, after turning Defender back on after the install I am now running a full disk check just to be on the safe side.

this is just because the FMGS installation files are "lookalike" as a virus. As some of the components of Jeehell get into the deep of systems files, it happen that virus detection warn to head up.
Though, i would say you can trust and install the file. (by the way i´ve seen that you bank account data is still missing in my files)

No my soft does not go "deep in the system files". The way anti virus work create some false flags sometimes.
If you have any doubt, do not install...

I'm using Microsoft Defender too. But I don't have this Problem.
Are you on Windows 10 or 11?

[kholt]

I am using Windows 11 with security updates regularly installed.

Apparently false positives are relatively common for this particular virus from what I gather.

[dkreiskott]

Okay, I have Windows 10, although I can't really imagine it processing another update for Defender.
You could define an exception.
