Ransom:Win32/Locky in stable build installer?

Post by asm74 »

I guess it is a Windows Defender false detect , but could you guys try to download the current stable build from Windows 10?

I've tried several times on different Windows 10 PCs and it says the file is infected with Ransom:Win32/Locky and removes the downloaded file immediately. What interesting that it is not complaining about both Nightly build (http://www.farmanager.com/nightly/Far30 ... 160603.msi) and Archive (http://www.farmanager.com/files/Far30b4 ... 0160210.7z)
Thanks!
