Windows Defender is going rogue, Microsoft knows, could happen to any product

With any type of antivirus or antimalware program, you’re going to have issues every once in awhile. Windows Defender is no exception and the fact is, they’re working on it.

Bug on Windows Defender

While I’ve knocked defender for its inability to remove things I’ve gotten that are clearly a problem, they’re definitely trying.

I’ve never seen a URL blocked or be told that it is malicious with the huge amount of suspicious things I’ve gotten, even before I got malwarebytes which doesn’t tell me of malicious URL’s.

I do have to hand it to Microsoft though, this is one that could happen to any product that anyone who reads this could use.

The article is titled Microsoft confirms Defender has gone rogue as it’s flagging legit links as malware is the URL that you need to read if you want more detail.

Its OK for issues to crop up. What are you going to do to fix it? That will be the question., one which is being worked on as we speak.
