Windows Defender now has WeMod marked as a trojan

I just had defender say its a trojan and yes my defender IS up to date

It doesn’t matter whether your Windows Defender is up to date or not. It matters that your signature library is up to date, the two are different things.

Follow the link in the post given above for instructions on updating the signature library.

and then the admins delete a post of a person exposing what is going on and instead of replying to it explaining why you need to run those commands you censor what he said.
losing all of my trust in you guys instantly.

Both are up to date -_-

The user who made that post copied and pasted commands and URLs from the first Google result of the virus name.

Completely unrelated to the WeMod installer.

We have a Pro subscription service. There’s no benefit for us to put a virus in the app. If you disassemble/decompile the installer, you can see that all it does is download the larger setup file, run it, then run WeMod.

I’m closing this topic because we are aware of the false detections from Windows Defender and are actively working on fixing it.
