Installer detected as malware?

Hi there, I have the same problem … does anyone have an idea?

+1

With Chrome on a windows 10pro machine it gets flag right away and removed. Firefox can download it but it will get deleted if you don’t move quickly.

Hello,

Thanks for pointing out this issue.

Can you please let me know if this issue happens only with the latest version or it happens with the previous versions as well?

I have latest version. The same.

1.5.8.1, which should be the latest version – but I can’t tell if the problem existed in prior versions as well. If I remember correctly there had been a few updates between my last backup and the one in question. One note, though: If downloading the original installer.php via FTP there are no irregularities, not even if checking the file on malware manually.

Hello, same problem version 1.5.8.1 Lite. Didnt try PRO.

Same issue here, with latest version 1.5.8.1.

I scanned an older version of an installer.php, but Windows Defender found the same virus ???

Same here

win10 22H2 / windows defender / Chrome , installer blocked as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml is detected.

Duplicator 1.5.8 and 1.5.8.1 same result

I find it interesting that version 1.5.8.1 has been released for 1 month and yet Windows Defender has only just detected it as malware. It is possible that after a newer version of the Defender virus database, others will not detect it. But it would be good if the developers looked into this issue as well.

same here, latest version .. O_o

Same for me, also see here: Possibly malware on installer file | www.remarpro.com
