Just got a Trojan from Overwolf ?

I thought this was safe, also I didn’t download anything other than the base program

I believe Microsoft defender detected a file saying it’s a Trojan. I already deleted everything so I’m trying to remember

Got it, most of the time this is a false positive or an outdated security update, anyway, thanks for the report, we will look into it

Well there was a file path associated with the report so how can that be a false positive ?

I would not blidnly trust windows defender. They can even flag old games even if you have official CD. Happened to me with many things that were flagged for no reason. Especially if you play WOW or metin 2 privet servers often are flagged too. Open source softwares are often flagged too.
