DaNoobSandstorm Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hello Vortex Team. I just downloaded Vortex ( from here: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1?tab=files) custom installation and installed it on my system. While installing, the Windows Defender gave out a alarm for the File D:\Programme\Vortex\resources\app.asar.unpacked\node_modules\native-errors\Detours\bin.X64\member.exe Seems to be a Torjan ( Trojan:Win32/Skeeyah.A!MTB ) Do you guys know about this?How can this happen? I hope you can answere my concerns. Kind Regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AugustaCalidia Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Neither Norton nor Malwarebytes detect the virus mentioned. They both deem Vortex 1.0 safe. I downloaded 1.0 from Nexusmods several days ago. I do not use the Vortex updater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetzelskid Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Also looking for answers. I received the alert from Windows Defender after using Vortex's auto-updater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paraben Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Same here. New Vortex user, I wonder if this app is safe to use ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Kaspersky user here, no such report.What seems to be in common with everybody who is getting the alarm is that they're using "Windows Defender"Microsoft: Here's why Windows Defender AV isn't ranked higher in new antivirus tests Windows Defender still has problems with incorrectly classifying legitimate apps as malware, according to the January-February test.

sorakaan Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 same for me, some minutes ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugustaCalidia Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 The problem appears to be a Windows Defender issue. It appears to have now been fixed, according to a post in this thread: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/7873523-vortex-v10-only-trojan-virus-in-memberexe/page-2.
