It isn't a matter of "abandoning support". The AutoIt team cannot control the false flags created by various AV companies. That is the point of this entire thread - of you are receiving false positives there is a method for reporting this to the AV company.

BTW I answered the same way in your email, and would clarify that you didn't "receive no response" in this thread, just not the one you were wanting.

Why would anyone lie to you? Your response makes no sense to me (not to mention being insulting).

Arg.   Windows has gone nuts this weekend and declared all my compiled programs to be infected.   Bad Microsoft Bad....   ok   Rant over.  I feel better.

Guess I need to install the full autoit for a coworker who needs my apps right now.  Its a bit frustrating when both my home machine and work machine delete stuff the moment I compile it.  I could ignore the dir but I'd rather not do that.  I've always just used the defaults when compiling.  Is there something I can change to hopefully prevent the false positive.   I've had this happen a few times but never to this extent.

Found the microsoft page to submit false positives.  I'll do that.   Just wondering if I have any options for now on my side.

care to post the compiler flags you are using, and if it is defender what are the existing exclusions?   There is some due diligence to be exercised by the author and user before you need to include the vendors.

Right....  Thats what I'm asking about.  Current is default.  Right click and compile.  That is it.  I do not have any compile instructions in the au3.

No exclusions.  At least not before today.  I have excluded this one exe now on one coworkers computer to get it working.  I was going to install auto it but I have a few custom includes both from here and of my own.  I did not feel like replicating my file structure elsewhere and then having to maintain it.

Its not excluded on mine.  I run the au3 anyhow.  And I want to see if there is something I can do to help prevent the false positive.

I have not submitted anything yet to any vendors.  If its something I can change about they way I'm doing my compile then I'm happy to test that out first.  Hence my post.

so playing with compiler flags will probably start to vary results, especially the recommendations throughout this thread.

Hey,

I've already seen the sticky thread on autoit virusses but the first post doesn't mention windows defender and the thread is quite inactive so I made a new one.

I tried sending a simple keycombination to a program when my pc starts using 1) task scheduler and then 2) windows autostart folder. In both cases it's detected as a virus. I also tried adding the files as exeptions to windows defender while they were in their original folder, the autostart folder and I chose the .exes as well as the .au3s

I also tried to add an exeption using the process name you can find on the task manager. (Tried to type in the name with .exe as well as without)

I also changed the properties of the scripts so that they are started as an administrator.

My script looks like this

Sleep(15000)
ControlSend ( "OBS 21.1.0 (64bit, windows) - Profil: Unbenannt - Szenen: Unbenannt", "", "[CLASS:Qt5QWindowIcon; INSTANCE:1]", "+{f8}" )

 

please help me... those guys from microsoft are mental

I think its this..

ControlSend ( "OBS 21.1.0 (64bit, windows) - Profil: Unbenannt - Szenen: Unbenannt", "", "[CLASS:Qt5QWindowIcon; INSTANCE:1]", "+{f8}" )

Should be

ControlSend ( "OBS 21.1.0 (64bit, windows) - Profil: Tote Pferde, die ich geschlagen habe - Szenen: Unbenannt", "", "[CLASS:Qt5QWindowIcon; INSTANCE:1]", "+{f8}" )

So what is stopping you to install avast on your comp that will disable windows defender cos he is running?

I had relatively easy time with him and false positive detection.

There are those that believe that the perfect heist lies in the preparation.
Some say that it’s all in the timing, seizing the right opportunity. Others even say it’s the ability to leave no trace behind, be a ghost.

And I have merged it into the sticky thread - we have it for a reason.

avast didn't work but I used regedit to permanently disable windows defender #imoneofthehardones

Did you turn upx off?  The fewer lines your code has, the more it matches malware sigs. Your script, to a robot, shares 99.999% of its code with other verified malicious compiled .au3s.  Its best to not compress it for detection purposes.

shell:startup is an awkward place to run interactive scripts from.  How about the script in the startup folder consists of one line that runs and exits, calling this script from another location.  Or use schedule tasks to create a task that runs on startup + X seconds

5b058bad23480_scheduledtask.PNG.3b223aa72a949634b5eea40aec718c63.PNG

 

and simply executes a command like

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "ControlSend (''OBS 21.1.0 (64bit, windows) - Profil: Tote Pferde, die ich geschlagen habe - Szenen: Unbenannt'', '''', ''[CLASS:Qt5QWindowIcon; INSTANCE:1]'', ''+{f8}'' )"')

 

 

nuking defender might not be necessary.

I had a file being tagged as "Trojan:Win32/Tilken.B!cl" by Windows Defender on Windows 10, with "severe" risk.

This was the only false positive among several of my scripts, so I decided to investigate the code...

Found out this particular script had "#pragma" directives, something I don't use anymore for quite a long time. So I replaced them with "#AutoIt3Wrapper" directives, recompiled and voilá, no more warnings on Windows Defender!

I have no idea the reason why, but this is definitely worth checking...

PS: It seems like UPX is unchecked by default by Autoit3Wrapper

PS2: Using version 3.3.14.2

EDIT: after i submitted the file to windows defender support, they un-flagged it from the system for the future.
