Windows just deletes the executable(s) without any other options to ‘allow’ the execution (which I wouldn’t do anyway!).
Anyone heard of this?
There are Web references to a ‘catch’ by Kapersky, but that was an older contribution.
Hey David… good tosee you back. Hope everythings is ok?
Yes. The .b!ml extension indicates it’s a detection of a machine learning detection engine of Microsoft Defender, and most likely is a false postive. It’s been flagging seamly2d.exe on and off for awhile. I installed last mon’s release on wed, and it ran fine. I just ran it now and Defender flagged and quarantined it? I restored it, and ran a Defender scan on the folder. Nothing was detected, and it now runs fine again. I also just scanned seamly2d.exe with Virus Tool and none of the scans detected anything:
Hi,
thanks for the info, I did see that the .EXE had been flagged in the past. However MS did not quarantine it (as far as I can see), but deleted it entirely. A re-install leads to the same results.
I was a little premature … sorry … I stopped ‘MS-Defender’ from checking the .EXE. Now all is running again.
I got the same a few minutes ago. I clicked on the Severe at the Threat Quarantined & selected Allow. Then I clicked on the Actions and selected Re-instate (or something like that).
Sorry that I didn’t take screenshots but I thought that you’d managed to get your Seamly working.
Hi Grace,
long time no hear/see/chat … how are you?
I had a reply from @Douglas and said that MS keeps deleting with no option to ‘allow’ the threat. I replied to that effect before realising that I can stop ‘MS-Defender’ from checking the .EXE.
Now all is running again.
