[SOLVED] Trojan? Script/Foretype.A!ml After installing download from official site. Likely false alarm?
-
Hello,
I'm on the (near) latest Windows 10 Pro N Insider Preview build, 18252 prerelease. I'm looking to switch from chrome to Vivaldi as a first time user. However, after downloading and installing the package from the Vivaldi's official page, I got this notice from windows defender:
This must be a false alarm, right? After some googling, it seems other windows installers occasionally suffer from this false positive. Including, interestingly enough, the game Subnautica. Is this a case of some code, unknown to the developers? Or is it an actual trojan? Thanks for any input.
EDIT: I am running chrome at the moment, and the application affected is
chrmstp.exe, chrome's updater.

@corrigenda That is a false alarm, that program is needed to install the Autoupdater of Vivaldi.
Please report false alarm of Defender by Windows Feedback.
-
@gwen-dragon Ah makes complete sense. Just sent the feedback to Microsoft feedback hub. Thanks!
-
Virustotal shows Vivaldi.2.0.1309.42.x64.exe as clean.

Yup, thanks. I'm trying to put [FIXED] in the title but it keeps flagging as spam, haha.
-
@corrigenda The spam filter of forum is sometimes too restrictive.
But i saw a moderator set tag Resolved in your 1rst post. That is the usual way here to mark a trhead issue/question as resolved.
-
@corrigenda That happens sometimes. I managed to mark it as resolved.
-
@corrigenda You do not need to add a
[SOLVED]to the title. Editing 1rst post, adding tag Resolved in tags field (is below textarea) is enough.
-
@gwen-dragon I added it, I usually do this, because in mobile view the tags are not being shown. I mean, will it hurt anybody if I add this into the title as well?
-
@pafflick Oh, i did not know that mobile's view hide the tags. OK, in this case a solve in title is useful.
-
It wouldn't! Thanks guys. Have a good night.
-
@corrigenda guys and gals
Thanks, have a good night.
-
Ah apologies! Guys and gals. Goodnight!
-
@corrigenda And we're both from the EU, so we're enjoying the morning here, but nevertheless - good night to you too.
