Windows virus detection
Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2025 2:46 pm
Some users are getting a virus detection for BDJ4 in Windows 10. Unfortunately, I am not getting a virus detection, so I don't have the required information I need to submit this false positive to Microsoft. I need the name of the virus it thinks it is detecting. And I need the security intelligence version (Settings / Update and Security / Windows Security / Virus & Threat Protection / Check for Updates shows this).
Again, BDJ4 has no viruses in it. The warning comes from Windows Defender Cloud Protection, which often marks novel small programs as viruses.
You can go to: Settings / Update and Security / Windows Security / Virus & Threat Protection / Manage Settings / Add or Remove Exclusions, and add the BDJ4 folder as an exclusion to bypass the virus detection.
The Real-Time Protection and Cloud Protection settings can be turned off in order to install BDJ4, then add the exclusion for BDJ4, then turn Real-Time Protection and Cloud Protection back on.
