    I am having the same issue with the latest Kontakt 7 player update. Defender detected and quarentined Wacatac.H!ml and now no Kontakt instruments work at all in my DAW. I need to reinstall Kontakt and hope it remembers all the paths for the instruments as well as actually install correctly this time too.

    Saludos!

    I think all this ****** that Traktor puts in is associated with the data sharing parameters to ''help'' NI with their future versions…

    I hope that NI is not selling my data to third parties, because if that is the case, what I am going to do is report them properly, since I have not consented to such a thing.

    Now I can understand that YouTube and other platforms are continually sending me Traktor ads… everything is clearer now hmmmm

    Let's quit with the conspiracy theories for a second.

    This "Wacatac" thing is very often a false positive (?). Windows Defender likes to overreact sometimes - such as last year when it suddenly flagged products from NI and other companies (hence why this very thread here exists). There was never a trojan to begin with and - after Microsoft updated Defender several times - these messages eventually went away. Chances are high that yours is a false positive as well.

    As for "selling my data to third parties": When you enter the NI website, you are presented with a cookie dialog. If you accept it, then you're bound to what the Privacy Policy (the thing you agreed to) says. Better give it a read. By my understanding, NI does not sell your data. If in doubt, send an email to the privacy@... address listed in that policy.

    Do you even know what files are located in /Transients/?

    Monochrome:


    Maybe I expressed myself wrong, I was referring to Traktor with the section I mentioned in my previous message. Nothing to do with the website etc. I think either I have explained myself poorly or you have not understood me.

    No conspiracy theories, I talk about facts, my ads on both my mobile and PC, on yt and other platforms, but much more on yt is constantly from Traktor and that is something I can prove. So I speak with facts, nothing conspires or nonsense.

    ...will we blame third programs? So tell me, how could it not be one of the plugins provided by Native Acess itself?... I have no idea, because I assure you that I don't have anything of my own for this. The issue and all these Trojan warnings at all levels and various users, it turns out that it is our fault, lor-carlos, of course!

    That's quite a lot of assumptions, for a false positive.

    I never said or implied it was anyones fault.

    But transient is just the beat grid data. I have no idea how you get from beat grid to selling data to 3rd parties.
