ZRatings v3.2 released
mvandyke:
I'm just got a new PC with Windows 11 and have installed Zelda and 30 other apps with no issues but I'm unable to install ZRating 3.2. Same issue as above.
No antivirus other than defender, unable to define it to exclude it, like I was in Windows 10. I've selected "Run anyways" but defender won't let it run. Tried .Zip file and .exe.
I tried three or four times and took a break. Will try again over the weekend and report back the results.

This is ridiculous. 41 of 72 antivirus flag a positive, most of them as some kind of "Generic Miner", "Malicious (moderate Confidence)", or "ML.HighConfidence" (Machine-Learning based detection, not an actual identification). I should be making millions mining BTC on the PCs of my tens of users worldwide...
The "Behaviour" tab assigns all kinds of nefarious activity to ZRatings, though most of it is so generic that I wonder how other .Net tools are not flagged as well. According to the analysis details, I'm guilty of creating a json config file and some log files, a couple of PNG files, and some TEMP files. I think the auto-upgrade process (where it downloads an EXE to replaces the current one) is one of the main detection triggers (that's fair).
I'd be interested to know the results if someone else can download the source code from GIT, compile it as release, and test it on VirusTotal. Same exact code, just a different compiler.

After defender detects it, you should be able to go to the Defender settings, list all detections, and tell it to "allow" the executable.
You can also create a folder for ZRatings and exclude it in Defender settings, then move the EXE there. Let me know if you want a password-encrypted ZIP file that you can download and then extract directly into a whitelisted folder.

I wrote to Microsoft, and they told me not to trust zybex: a very dangerous subject. ;D ;D
P.S. I told Defender not to worry because that executable is safe, and now everything works ;)

I did as you stated above (folder option) and that is working now. Thanks so much.
Love the product !
