Just started today, and this happens with any zip created (I've tried zipping different files and file types). I'll create the zip file, I can run a scan at that point and no threats will be found, however as soon as I try to attach the zip Windows Defender will mark the attachment as a severe threat and I'll have to delete it or quarantine it.
It's always identifying the zip as either:
Trojan:Script/Conteban.A!ml
or
Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
I've tried numerous solutions.
- deleted protection history
- installed malwarebytes, it didn't find anything, switched back to Windows defender
- ran Microsoft Safety scanner, it found nothing
- tried to upload zip files to virustotal to check, that found nothing
This is very limiting, as I can no longer email a zip file unless I deactivate Windows Defender and utilize another antivirus program. However, I don't want to ignore a problem if it's legitimate either.
Is this likely false positive? Or if not what can I do to resolve this?
Help please.
