Windows Defender Labels Dolphin as Trojan

AbominableCow · 10-02-2019, 07:21 AM #1

Hello, I've recently updated my Dolphin from 5.0-10928 to 5.0-10938, and now Windows Defender is marking the Updater.exe as a Trojan. It also flags any of the developer builds from 5.0-10918+. It doesn't flag 5.0-10916.

This was a Windows Defender bug, and they very quickly fixed it! ~~https://github.com/microsoft/STL/issues/150~~

That link you posted is for an entirely different problem, but yes, Windows Defender should now not mark it as a trojan if you have the latest malware definitions.
