Warning, imminent threat of death, Defender has found the following,
probably planted by Putin:

JGTaskManager - a program I have written in Visual Studio as a To Do
manager.

Speccy Installer

PowerISO Installer

Donkey Kong

Iolo SystemMechanic6.exe

ariskkey.exe

Nirsoft Produkey

And people wonder why I hate Windows 10 so much.

False positives? Can you turn Heuristics off, and try again?

Windows is popular. Low hanging fruit and all that ;->

Apart from stuff written for the WPF I think every program I have ever
written (writted ?) has been found to be a virus.

But if you hate Windows so much then why are you using Visual Studio ?

I don't hate Windows, W2K was brilliant, it's W10 that seems to cause the
problems.

I use Visual Studio as it's one of the best IDEs around, designed by the
chap who designed Borland's IDEs - they WERE the best tools around by a
million miles.

VS2022, which I have on a test machine, has exactly the same bugs as
VS2008 but has many more pop up windows which seem to be trying to guess
what I'm trying to do. It is prettier though but doesn't allow the use of
the Fixedsys font which is the choice of many programmers.

I decide one program I am working on would benefit from MDI windows. The
child windows look like Win XP, a point raised on many forums and ignored
by MSFT. One good point though, I can tile windows vertically or
horizontally because in those days it was assumed user knew what the words
meant and didn't need "side by side" or whatever the other option is
nowadays.

Sorry, rant over, I still have the option of Win 8.1 that would treat me
as semi literate at least.

I haven't programmed for Windows in 10 years - forced away by
redundancy, and don't miss it except just occasionally there's some odd
tool that is Windows only - but I second that. I _do_ miss Visual
Studio. To the extent that I used VS Code exclusively as an editor, even
though it didn't support my tool chain.

I'm surprised by your false positives. When I was writing Windows stuff
I hardly ever had a trigger. I'm really surprised it hadn't seen Donkey
Kong before!

I assumed it was a recent update to defender, in the end it became
unusable so I went back to 8.1 which has been fine.

Nirsoft products trigger warnings on a few AV
programs, certainly including the Bitdefender I
use, so not just limited to W10. Why not turn off
defender and use something else?

Because Defender comes with Windows so in theory should give good, if not
the best, results. I have tied it down to just the "C:" drive now, I will
set up a Downloads directory on C: so my downloads are checked.

As far as Nirsoft Produkey is concerned it is a useful tool, especially as
MSFT provides no means of checking the product key in use. I use it to
ensure I have licences on all my PCs which I would have thought MSFT would
be happy about.

Sam as other "dual-use" tools, you and I may use it for good reasons, but you
must see that some other people use it to for what MS would see as bad reasons?
Hence they block it.

This group has always been refreshing free of the sort of abuse you've just
reminded us exists elsewhere. Please, not here. Or you'll simply be killfiled

A fair few of the Nirsoft products attract the
attention of the AV programs. Back when I was
fixing PCs, I often used the one that reveals the
MS Outlook account passwords (clients never even
knew there was one!). Again Bitdefender had a
hissy fit, but easily fixed.
