Virus warning in latest Beta v28.30.1906

Post by elephantboy »

Installed v28.30.1906 - 2026-08-22 19:14 on windows 11. The executable was Immediately quarantined by windows Defender (updated as of 23/08/2026) as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml in D:\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe.

Is this a false positive?

Of course, it's always a false positive. The warning usually will go away after some hours.
