September 2019 - Windows Defender Win32/Fuery.B!cl

Since the beginning of September, the Windows 10 Defender discovers a Trojan called "Win32/Fuery.B!Cl" and blocks RdClient. Therefore, as a developer, I had repeatedly contacted Microsoft support and said that RdClient in the version I signed did not contain any malware. Each time a Microsoft Analyst analyzed the incident with the following result:

We have removed the detection. Please follow the steps below to clear cached detection and obtain the latest malware definitions.

1. Open command prompt as administrator and change directory to c:\Program Files\Windows Defender
2. Run “MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures”
3. Run "MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate"

Alternatively, the latest definition is available for download here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/definitions

Thank you for contacting Microsoft.

While this is nice to confirm that RdClient does not contain malware, but:

1. Unfortunately, the Windows Defender malware detection update guide is aborted with an error message.
2. After a normal Windows Defender upgrade, RdClient will be temporarily accepted but will be blocked again after a Windows restart.

Recently, a Microsoft analyst confirmed that RdClient does not contain any malware and Microsoft just can not explain why the Windows Defender wants to detect a Trojan in my Windows 10 system:

The file is not malware and we cannot reproduce any detection on the file. If detection is still observed, please follow the steps below to capture support log files from the system reporting detection.

On Windows 10, from elevated command prompt, change to directory "%programfiles%\windows defender" and execute mpcmdrun.exe with option GetFiles: cd "%programfiles%\windows defender" mpcmdrun.exe -GetFiles

On Windows 7, from elevated command prompt, change to directory "%programfiles%\microsoft security client" and execute mpcmdrun.exe with option GetFiles: cd "%programfiles%\microsoft security client" mpcmdrun.exe -GetFiles

All created log files will be compressed into MPSupportFiles.cab. Please send us the detected file and MPSupportFiles.cab via our web portal https://aka.ms/wdsi (select Submissions/Submit a file). We will continue the investigation once we receive the support log files.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft.

If you want to support me, please follow the instructions of Microsoft on your system and also report the result to Microsoft. I will not continue to attempt to troubleshoot Microsoft. That's why I've manually disabled the blocking of RdClient in my Windows Defender. If you also want to do that, please make sure that you use RdClient only in the version signed by me.

October 2019 - Windows Defender Win32/Unwaders.A!ml

Since the beginning of October, RdClient is now also detecting malware called "Win32/Unwaders.A!ml" by Windows Defender of Windows 10. RdClient does not contain any malware and I can not fix what is not there. Again, only the unblocking of RdClient in Windows 10 Defender remains as permissible threat.
