Tor Browser Bundle on Windows 11 Flagged as malware today
Very weird, this is the TBB direct from Tor.
Trojan:Win32/Malgent!MTB
....Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe
And it links to : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FMalgent!MTB&threatid=2147836816
Anyone else having issues with TBB?
Classic Microsoft. They regularly use defender to harrass users of software they don't like.
Ha. I forgot about that episode of the view.
Yeah, I don't see the issue in the Tor Forum, but I see other people reporting it on Reddit.
I've verified the TBB signatures, its a authentic app from Tor.
Guess its another iteration of : https://support.torproject.org/tbb/antivirus-false-positive/
Just weird to see it from Windows Defender
I wouldn't call that weird. Microsoft's track record for anything involving security is absolutely atrocious, to a point where you now have to assume everything in azure and every single windows computer is compromised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37702095

Upload to virus total and show the result. Also its not a good idea to run Tor on windows.

It has been mentioned in the tor forums: https://forum.torproject.org/t/new-release-tor-browser-12-5-6/9451/5
Why do you use Tor? Just use regular Firefox, it's much faster. Doesn't have all that privacy-bloat, you don't need that with Windows anyways
