Windows Defender Flagging org.jboss.tools.ws.wise.ui_1.9.3.v20161214-2127.jar as Malware

[tr0y.trav15jbossdev]

Hello Community,

Just over the past few days Windows Defender (W10) has been flagging the file :"org.jboss.tools.ws.wise.ui_1.9.3.v20161214-2127.jar" as "Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A".

The above file is included as  a part of the JBTIS update sit.

Also, from Eclipse Marketplace the jar is installed to eclipse\plugins\org.jboss.tools.ws.wise.ui_1.9.3.v20161214-2127.jar - which is also being flagged and quarantined by Windows Defender.

Cannot reproduce.

a) Installed Eclipse Neon.3 from oomph installer - Eclipse Downloads

b) Installed all of JBoss Tools from the Eclipse marketplace (don't have to install Integration Stack to get this file installed)

c) updated Defender to latest definitions

• Last update: Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3150513) (on 2017-04-22)
• Last Defender update:  Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.241.274.0). installed 2017-04-24 at 12:12pm EDT
• Virus/spyware definition 1.241.323.0

d) ran custom scan on my ~/eclipse, ~/.eclipse and ~/.p2 folders - no problems found.

Maybe your Defender needs to be configured to ignore your ~/eclipse folder?

Hey Nick,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I had updated to the latest at the time of writing the post; perhaps it was an earlier version than the one identified in your post. Regardless, I updated again today after reading your post and the version is now at 1.241.345.0 and the file is no longer being flagged.

I did have the same latest Windows Update as you, though.

Thanks for the forum links and the FYI.

Regards,

Troy.
