Windows Defender flagging DslStats file as trojan
« on: December 07, 2016, 01:59:06 AM »
I ran a Windows Defender scan today after updating to the latest definitions. upload15.exe was flagged as Trojan: Win32/Peals.A!cl
I've allowed this as it's obviously a false positive. Left me with the error "Unable to upload MyDSLWebStats data ("upload" executable missing?)" till I allowed the file.
Hopefully doesn't cause too many issues for others!

This has happened before, and notifying the malware company that it's a false positive soon gets it fixed.
