[4.2.0] Trojan found [Windows defender]
In the latest version of Sabnzdb (version 4.2.0) Windows defender found a serious trojan: Win32/Wavatac.B!ml . This was not present in 4.1.0
Re: [4.2.0] Trojan found
The usual:
* report to Microsoft it's not a virus/trojan
* wait 2 weeks and try again

Re: [4.2.0] Trojan found
Sorry but the "usual" is basically trusting the development team that it is
A) not a trojan
B) if it would be a trojan it would not be (mis)used.
A seperat scan of the file proved that there is indeed a trojan present in the executable.

trust the SABnzbd development team it's not a trojan
or trust Microsoft it is a trojan, and don't use 4.2.0 and stay on 4.1.0
And really, that is the usual: each time there is a new SABnzbd release, during the first days / first week after a release, some anti virus software think it's a virus / trojan. That alert will go away after one or two weeks. You can follow that on virustotal.
EDIT
You can see the jury's verdict here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a30 ... ?nocache=1
" 6 security vendors and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious" , including Microsoft
and ... 62 anti-virus setups that say "Undetected", so clean & safe.
So: 6 against 62.
In the coming days: each day you could click on that virustotal link, click Reanalyse (top right corner), and see how the jury verdict develops.

It's the same with every release we make. See above for some explanation why and the same info sander already gave, to check virus total.
It's already down from 6 false positives to 5.

Re: [4.2.0] Trojan found [Windows defender]
I found a solution :
I've excluded the file Sabnzbd from defender. It's ok now.

Re: [4.2.0] Trojan found [Windows defender]
Good news: on https://sabnzbd.org/downloads there is a new version 4.2.1 ... built in a different way ... which does not trigger Microsoft Defender.
So can you try that and feedback if Defender is happy?

When did you download it? I updated the release about 6 hours ago.
