Known issue with new MacroQuest.exe. Here is chat from discord about it.


Short answer, it's a guess from Microsoft Defender. They don't like random named process which is used to help bypass detection from Darkpaw. Try it in something like virustotal.com if you want more validation. It's safe to ignore.

Here is my test on the exe

VirusTotal

VirusTotal

www.virustotal.com

1 out of 72 vendors say it's suspected Trojan/Malware.

110% positive because when i run virus scan and get rid of it it deletes my Macroquest live app...

I guess I am not getting it because i have windows defender exclude my everquest and mq folders. I push my computers hard enough with eq/mq to not want to wait for windows to scan them as i am playing. I want to say at times i was seeing 10+ percent cpu useage over 5+ minutes of watching windows defender process while playing.

Just kill Windows Defender, and get a 'real' virus/malware protection, i.e. IObit Malware Fighter Pro, Bitdefender Total Security, Advanced System Repair Pro, and many others (avoid free & trial). Info; Defender is designed/coded to whine about any filename it doesn't recognize. Another MS better-idea
