Windows Defender detectou Trojan:HTML/Phish.BOV!MTB

I was just about to reinstall Windows, myself. So glad I came across this thread.

Hello Fabio, I had the same problem. Do you use 8GadgetPack?

the network monitor ip query causes the false alarms - there is a new version of 8GadgetPack that fixes the error.

Greetings Bernardo

Thank you thank you thank you! This has been plaguing me all weekend. Going to look for this update right away.

Olá Fabio, tive o mesmo problema. Você usa 8GadgetPack?

a consulta de ip do monitor de rede causa os alarmes falsos - há uma nova versão do 8GadgetPack que corrige o erro.

Saudações Bernardo

Olá, Bernhard.

Fiz a atualização do 8GadgetPack como sugeriu e os alarmes pararam. Realmente o problema estava na versão antiga do programa.

Agradeço a você e ao João pelo suporte.

Saudações,

Fábio.

Just trying to make sure that I don't also have a real virus along the false positive although I shouldn't as I haven't downloaded ANYTHING in the past couple days.

Yesterday I started over with a fresh Win 10 because I had no idea what else to do. As soon as I activated my 8GadgetPack the alerts started again (shock!) - and they stopped as soon as I deactivated the Pack. Then I made some investigations: There's a new version of 8GadgetPack (V 35.0), which adresses exact this problem - with the new version, I have no alerts anymore.

The Network Monitor of 8 GadgetPack is able to display the current external IP-Adress - to do so, it calls out to some servers like "checkip.dyndns.org" and some others to obtain the adress. The pages of these calls show up in the InternetCache and since a threat-definition-update some days ago the Microsoft Defender is alerted by these activities, since they are very similar to what some trojans do and one of the called sites seems to be the new alarm-list.

If you stop the 8GadetPack-Network-Monitor or update to version 35.0, the false alarms should stop. Otherwise, there may be another problem with your PC.
