Very weird, this is the TBB direct from Tor.

Trojan:Win32/Malgent!MTB

…Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe

And it links to : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FMalgent!MTB&threatid=2147836816

Anyone else having issues with TBB?

    Classic Microsoft. They regularly use defender to harrass users of software they don’t like.

      Yeah, I don’t see the issue in the Tor Forum, but I see other people reporting it on Reddit.

      I’ve verified the TBB signatures, its a authentic app from Tor.

      Guess its another iteration of : https://support.torproject.org/tbb/antivirus-false-positive/

      Just weird to see it from Windows Defender

        I wouldn’t call that weird. Microsoft’s track record for anything involving security is absolutely atrocious, to a point where you now have to assume everything in azure and every single windows computer is compromised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37702095

    Upload to virus total and show the result. Also its not a good idea to run Tor on windows.

        Because windows is full of telemetry and has lots of malware developed for it.

        Not to mention the NSA will know you visited the Tor page and have Tor installed.

        Its best to use it from Tails

          But doesn’t NSA also by that logic know that you have visited Tails download page and have downloaded the ISO at some point?

            by the same logic, they won’t know what you do inside Tails, nor when you boot it up

        too easy for Microsoft or third-parties to collect telemetry data would be my guess

    Why do you use Tor? Just use regular Firefox, it’s much faster. Doesn’t have all that privacy-bloat, you don’t need that with Windows anyways
