Packers and Microsoft Defender

[0xc3]

Many antivirus software are incorrect, but signing cert is more useful.

Thanks all for the advice.

I of course considered signing the files but that as a last resort. Also a quick answer to someone who asked: of course I have legal rights on the software, I made it.

Basically as said in OP, detection rate is extremely low. 12-13 out of all vendors on VT. But one of detections is MS Defender.

Also I have submitted my files to Microsoft to remove the detection and they did it. But... once a new file is packed (soft update or whatever) new generic detection occurs.

So there are 2 options:

- Sign to avoid all the hassle
- Submit to Microsoft to remove the detection before publishing the file

Cheers.
