Is Windows Defender Flagging Minecraft Files Just a False Alarm?

Asked By CuriousCat42 On

Hey everyone! I haven't used my PC in about a month, and when I booted it up today to organize some files, Windows Defender flagged two trojan files located in my Minecraft Resource Pack folder. The trojans are labeled as AutoIt/CryptInject.YE.MTB and PowerShell/Bynoco.SS!MTB, both of which are tmp files. I haven't actually opened Minecraft in a while, so I'm wondering if these are just false positives or if I should be worried about my PC's security. What do you think?

You might want to upload those files to VirusTotal to get a clearer picture of what's going on. It could help figure out if they're really a threat or just false positives.

I checked the directory you mentioned and found a ton of temp files. Looks like Defender deleted all the temp files along with the flagged ones, so I can't send anything to VirusTotal.
