Do you have YTDVideoDownload?
-
Yesterday, my Windows 10 laptop posted an alert for a potentially unwanted application - YTDVideoDownload. Interestingly, it's the first alert I've had in years on any of my machines. The only software I installed recently on the windows 10 machine is a Discord client. This morning, my Windows 11 laptop is reporting that it has the same application. The only thing that these two machines have in common is yesterday they both updated with the latest from Microsoft, and I run opera on both of them. Nothing is in the installed s/w list, and I haven't added any plugins to the browsers, so I wonder how it just snuck in.

You can rest assured MS or one of the big-wigs will never ship with something like that. There's too much money thrown around in the circle jerk that is big tech.

well I've been digging deep there. Like in my starting post, the only thing I have installed is the discus client. Opera has not updated in a week (unless it got sucked in with the Windows update). looking for other people that might have had this pop up.

Oh Microsoft, please never change. So on my Windows 11 laptop with this rogue chunk of code, I kicked off a full Windows Defender scan.... 17 hours ago. It appears to have hung. No cpu being consumed, etc. I think I'll download Malwarebytes, but really MS. You insist that weekly updates are necessary for security and your scanner hangs. Hmmm

In conclusion to my original post, this appears to be a false positive. I found it on two other machines (that were not complaining). I have other things to worry about.
