Windows Defender began obsessing about a Trojan in the new Ashita launcher.

I logged in fine this morning and played for a short while, then the game shutdown and Windows Defender has quarantined this file. I deleted the new launcher and re -downloaded it, but it came back up as quarantined the second I unzipped the download. Input would be appreciated.

This is what the details say:

Trojan:Win32/Cloxer.D!cl

Alert level: Severe
Status: Quarantined
Date: 12/24/2018

Recommended action: Remove threat now.

Category: Trojan
Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.

Affected items::
file: C:\Users\imbtr\Downloads\Ashita\Ashita\ffxi-bootmod\boot.exe

Having the same issue, I am redownloading & installing the whole game. Hope it works

I found this thread that seems to answer my question:

Yes, Bitdefender is blocking and quarantining some files in new launcher. I can't get it to "allow access" either. Every time I recover files that were quarantined and try to run launcher it blocks access and then re-quarantines the same files. Is there perhaps some vulnerable points in the program which virus protection services recognize as dangerous points for data collection? Not that I fear this from Nasomi, Inc., but could someone who is not affiliated, with ill intent, use it to gain access to private info or take control remote control?

Sorry, I am not well versed in programming. Just conjecture.

No, that's not the case Kindled. Just your average false positive.
