This. Especially when the antivirus heuristic cannot figure out the threat from a file, it tries to be more negative than positive. (I.e: "in doubt, flag it as bad")


side note: windows defender is better than nothing but it has not a good reputation among system administrators. Now at home many may use windows defender (I have some pc with no AV at all), in companies people choose other AV. https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/bus...ws-client/

We know Pier, we know...

But I wouldn't put Avast in the same list as others there.
