M$ Antivirus found Trojan in UCCNC

[m_c]

It's a bit of a known problem with the MS virus checker.
Anytime a new version of something is released, it can trigger false positives.
Dynomotion's KMotionCNC suffers the same problem until it's been out for a few days, and there's event software I use, which also has the same problem when a new update is released (MS even shut the app downand sandboxed it last month mid-event, which caused me a bit of a problem!).

It's all to do with the virus checker finding features in the software that could indicate it's doing things it shouldn't. In the case of the event software, it has a lot of functionality for replicating data to servers, which I guess gets flagged as potential Malware, and in KMotionCNC I suspect it's due to containing a lot of small example programs and source code, some of which are accessing system files. I'd imagine UCNC is being flagged for similar.

Yes i had the software running a few weeks now...

So why is it a problem now?

So i flagged the UCCNC directory for no scanning for now and i will check in a few days...

Is it on a computer with good internet access?

In the case of the event software shutting down, I'd installed the latest version the previous evening, at which point I assume a copy had been uploaded to MS for testing. It was the next morning after getting an internet connection setup having dealt with the initial rush, all the software shut down, which I'm guessing is the point the virus checker got details about the software being infected back from MS.

It could be MS have discovered some new virus that matches something in UCNC, so it's only just being flagged. If it is a false positive it should sort itself out in a couple days and stop being flagged.

Are you the same person posting this at the UCCNC forum and CNC Zone?
If not, I'd add an exclusion to Windows Defender for the UCCNC folder. I added the exclusion a long time ago, as it allows UCCNC to start faster. An added benefit is it prevents false positives.

Eh no... i try to keep my online identity to driftspin only.

I also don't like to shop arround for info on all different places.

Is someone posting under drifspin elsewhere?

Yes i did throw a exclusion in MS AV.
Ill check in few days if AV still flags UCCNC.exe

Grtz Bert.

. . . . . . . MS even shut the app down and sandboxed it last month mid-event, which caused me a bit of a problem! . . . . . . . .

Which is why I'm never going back to Windows 10!!!! which I assume you were running?

No, someone else.
Apparently, a lot of people are running into this.
I've had an Exclusion on my UCCNC folder for a long time, and have not had any issues on two PC's running Windows 10.

No that isn't correct and I have the answer to why you are seeing these false Trojan results. However, I can't post the answer until I have permission from Balazs, which I'm sure he will give when he replies to my email.

But in the meantime don't worry there is NO TROJAN or virus in UCCNC.exe
