    You can add the Komplete Kontrol 2.9.1 installer to the list that Defender flags as malicious. Man, what a mess. 😂 Microsoft is really doing a stellar job recently...

    Just to inform you: Today (31-3) I tried to update Komplete Kontrol with Native Access. Win defender blocked it, saying it found Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml. Threat level: serious.

    @John Heijens Try the following: Open Windows Security Center in the task bar, go to virus and malware protection (or however it is called in English), click on "Updates for virus and malware protection", make sure it updates to version 1.385.1699.0, and then try to install Komplete Kontrol again. Worked for me.

    I hope that soon every of the NI installers, and the other company's product installers get excluded in Defender's virus definitions one by one...

    Even some game updates on Steam are detected as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml and the likes now... Microsoft really need to get their sh** together.

    P.S.: German blog "Borncity" reported about it: https://www.borncity.com/blog/2023/03/30/microsoft-besttigt-der-defender-legitime-urls-oder-dateien-als-schdlich-gemeldet-defender-issue-dz534539/ Microsoft also tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/MSFT365Status/status/1641048649525260289

    So, yeah, don't worry really. It's all Microsoft's fault.

    Seems to be all clear now. Just ran 3 updates in NA2 3.2.2 , including Massive X, and Microsoft Defender was silent!

    Currently running Microsoft Defender Security intelligence version: 1.385.1790.0, version created on 4/1/2023 4:14 AM, last update 4/1/2023 9:18 AM.

    For me the Komplete Kontrol 2.9.1. update is still flagged. Everything else went through just fine, but this update is stuck. MS updated the Defender AV to 1.385.1850.0 and that isn't working with the KK update. :(
