Oficial Client: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml

[deymor]

Happens to me that i had troubles with other client (ender) and tried to use the oficial client to take care of my croops and animals and found that windows defender jump up with this warning and dosent allow me to start the game

Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml

I tried with other client like Ender. And happen just the same thing.

any idea what to do?

uh oh, i guess you can't trust vanilla anymore.

On a more serious note, it's up to you. I have no clue why would vanilla and ender trigger windows defender, but you can make a conscious choice of getting those 2 items out of the quarantine, turning off the windef or forgetting about the game all together.

I wonder if someone else has a better insight than I do.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert.

To my knowledge, all anti-virus software effectively relies on a library of already identified malware. By a coincidence, a non-malicious piece of code can definitely trigger False Positives.

On the flipside, while there's probably a degree of heuristics going on to prevent the most blatant "I'll just change my malware a tiny bit so it isn't an exact match to the one they put in the library" this means that anti-virus is powerless against a malware not already in its library. Granted it likely would have use brand new exploit/method to deliver its payload. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-day_(computing)

I do NOT think ender client is a virus

My Jar files are suddenly being caught as "Sabsik.FL.A!ml"


Did something infect my jar files or some weird shit? This has never been a problem before and I think it's what is also causing me to randomly have crashes after the client works perfectly fine.

I have like 4 ender client folders since it kept breaking and windows defender deleted all of the jars out of each

Edit: Fresh jar files both beta and normal trigger warnings from windows defender. Vanilla seemingly does not

You're not alone <3 woo

Other users in game of Ender Client do not have this problem. Either we've downloaded some sketchy shit or this is a false positive.

imo false positive.
as long as you are using the launcher from the Ender OP you should be good.

This isn’t necessarily a virus. Windows Defender often flags unofficial or less common software as a potential threat, especially if it’s not signed by a recognized publisher. However, since you downloaded the client from an unofficial source, you are taking on some risk.

I’ve had times when I ignored Defender warnings and installed programs without any issues. But I’ve also had a situation where I installed a game on a PC that had a lot of important files, and I ended up having to wipe everything and reinstall Windows because it turned out to be a real virus.
