Hi folks,

The installers of the new version is being blocked by Edge when downloading and also after install Defender is blocking it when running the host with detection of 'Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml'.

Please check the File Hash with (click 'Checksum' on the downloads page) and if it matches then consider reporting blocked file as safe to Microsoft.

Thanks,
Boris

Hi Boris,

Thanks for the heads-up, and for suggesting the hash check.

Microsoft has reviewed the files and removed the detection, so the 7.9.0.0 installers and the Host should no longer be blocked.

If Defender still flags them on a machine, it is probably running older definitions. Update them in Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection updates, then try again.

Let us know if you still see a block.
