    Trojan:Win32/Prowloc.A!cl flagged by windows defender after downloading halo for pc from...


    greetings,

    I have Win 11 all up to date. I installed xbox game pass on my pc. I downloaded Halo Infinite from the new xbox game pass to the same location as my Steam library. Windows Defender popped up and I got the following message once it had quarantined a file:

    Detected: Trojan:Win32/Prowloc.A!cl

    Status: Quarantined

    Affected Items: file: D:\SteamLibrary\Halo Infinite\Content\HaloInfinite.exe

    process: pid:15660,ProcessStart:133231310511321758

    I only use this pc for gaming. I do not look at porn, youtube, or even general surfing. And only download gaming and necessary programs. Is it possible to get a virus from a Windows run download? Also, could saving the game file in the same location as my other games I use with Steam an issue that made it look like a virus?

    :)

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello BADAMB1, this notice is a false positive that Windows Defend custom accuses.

    Try to verify if everything or your system is up to date and if you have the latest Windows Defender libraries.

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    [Moderator note: the following info was copied from https://www.pcrisk.com/removal-guides/12996-win32blutealbrfn-trojan]


    Hello Jaskaran, Recently, some found a pop-up informing that the system is infected with the Win32/Bluteal.B!rfn trojan. The pop-up is displayed by Microsoft Windows Defender, however, this anti-malware tool detects completely legitimate files and identifies them as Win32/Bluteal trojans! Rfn.


    This is frustrating and dangerous, as false positive detections can lead to permanent data loss.


    False positive detections usually occur due to failures in the antimalware set database - the database contains false information, and therefore the antivirus tool detects irrelevant files. Initially, these "failures" may seem insignificant, however, the tools can permanently exclude false positives.


    So you'll find these false positives. If Windows Defender has detected the Win32/Bluteal.B! Rfn on your system, we recommend that you first update the tool (especially if you are sure that the detected file is legitimate) before taking any other action. To update Windows Defender, follow the steps in the link below.

    Trojan in XBox Game Pass Game

    Thank you, but the game is still unplayable. In particular, all textures are missing from battles.

    I first set Windows Defender to ignore the supposed trojan, but the problem was still there.

    Setting the fake trojan file as "ignored" and disabling the Windows Defender Real Time protection, still cause the problem.

    No virus or trojan is find on my pc, the problem is the permanent message from an unknown provider, I shall do a scan immediately, else would be a virus or trojan on my pc. It's a "windows 10 repair program".

    This message is coming only, when i use jigsaw puzzle.

    All movies newly added to my external hard drive won't play on my Xbox one X through the VLC media player or the Microsoft media app.

    What type of media files are you trying to play?

    Als be aware, that the UWP app version (i.e. the version that runs on Xbox One and Windows 10 from the App store, not the Win32/Mac version you can download from the VLC website) of the VLC Media Player does not support all media formats that
    the Mac/Win32 app supports.
