Anyone else having problems with TS Tools?

I have posted a thread on the normal forum for Mike to see but my Windows 10 Quarantined TS Tools because of a Trojan

False positive?
If this is Windows Defender it happens from time to time and you need to allow it (TS-Tools.exe) as an exception and open it through the firewall.

I've posted this in the other thread too....

Do you have an alternative Anti Virus/Security package? I've downloaded the update files and NOD32 reports no problems.

It is a false positive, I reported the same Trojan being reported by both Windows Defender and Malwarebytes to their respective makers.

Windows Defender ceased reporting it the following day, at least my copy did after I ensured I had the latest Defender updates installed. And Malwarebytes responded that they had 'Whitelisted' my program, which means they didn't find a Trojan at all once they actually checked the code

So if you wish to use it, do as Peter says and add it as an exception, or otherwise stick with the older versions or RW_Tools.

I've just downloaded the updated version and on running it, AVG flagged it, scanned it, then declared it OK.

Same with my Bullguard AV/Firewall

A scan today with both Malwarebytes and Windows Defender came up all clean

Sorry for the False Positive
