I'll take your word for it. I thought the machine learning part was kind of a dynamic thing but I'm not knowledgeable about this stuff so I'll just refrain.Right, and I understand false positives that are triggered by unsigned installers, but those alerts (and how you interpret them) are not the same as a windows defender matched viral / malware signature. This is a specific assertion about a specific detection. My default windows defender would see this in the same way their default windows defender would. Right?
Im a 30+ year net/sysadmin. Security is part of my job. I wonder why my identically populated (I assume my defender and their defender are updated and configured identically) windows defender would not give me one single false positive? Ive seen people make nearly identical comments under at least 4-5 software releases in the last 6ish months alone, and every time others are unable to verify these false positives.
There are people who indeed spread "you are being hacked all the time, everywhere" propaganda, for one reason or another. Some are super paranoid & convinced they are being hacked all the time. Some are actually backdoored and infected, and various files are indeed infected, so they think the vendor's files are infected. Some are trying to sell security software. It doesnt matter to me WHY people do this.
To me, this is indicative of something lol.
Really I just assume most people are an idiot, much like myself, and give some leeway accordingly. I just try to be helpful if I think the dummy things I have to say could be helpful. lol
Cheers
