Windows Defender (in its updated virus definitions at least) no longer is reporting any problems with the file. We of course at once submitted the file to Windows Defender, and to be fair they responded quite quickly. We had previously submitted the file to VirusTotal and all 64 AV programs had pronounced it clean.
(2) If you downloaded the software using another browser, when you tried to run it, Windows Defender said it contained a trojan virus. We have reported this several times, but it's still happening. It has been reported to Microsoft for containing harmful programs that may try to steal personal or financial information". It gives the name of the download site (our bucket) and then says "Microsoft recommends you don't continue to this site. (1) If a customer using Microsoft Edge clicked on the download button to download the installation program from an Amazon S3 bucket, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen put up a big red screen saying "THIS SITE HAS BEEN REPORTED AS UNSAFE" (in big letters).
The following happened when we just released a new version of the software. We always have a valid code signing certificate and we always sign both the program itself and the installation program. Actually recently it seemed to have got much better. I've had my share of false positives from AV programs in the past and have done everything we can to avoid that happening. Customers buy a licence and download the software from the Internet. I have just released a new version of my software.
I write and sell a (Visual C++) software product.
