I'm currently taking Pluralsight's "Learn Programming in C++" course and compiled a C++ application using MS Visual Studio 2019 consisting of four lines:
int main()
{
return 0;
}
It was identified by multiple engines on virustotal.com as a threat, specifically by Windows Defender as Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos.C!cl. First time I executed it was as a complete file compiled from code downloaded from Pluralsight. I selected the option to have the "threat" removed. But then I created a brand new project without using the Pluralsight-supplied .sln file, just inserting the .cpp source code file into a newly created project. The same virus threat warning was issued.
Any idea whether I'm dealing with a false positive or with some sort of threat sitting on Pluralsight's servers?
