So a couple of months ago, windows defender started flagging some jackett files as trojan, it’s still flagging it for me. Devs told everyone to just ignore it. Do we have a consensus about it?

    Sound normal for Windows, back when I was using Windows I usually had to whitelist torrent clients in Windows Defender otherwise the torrent client .exe would disappear randomly during a virus scan. It was always some sort of false positive.

      Sounds like Microsoft trying to prevent freedom to use the machine as you please. Standard big corp anti user behaviour
