Microsoft Security Problems

Awesome Donkey:
I do have a theory potentially. Looking back at my forum posts from when it first started happening, it seems to be the JRWeb.exe file triggering it. Maybe they're simply flagging it on the name instead of some heuristics? Does JRWeb sound like some sort of trojan or something?

It still baffles me that a file digitally signed with a valid certificate could be constantly flagged as malware, even after it's been reported as a false positive multiple times.

JimH:
Yes.

Then when I run the exe another warning pops up that "Windows protected your PC" and I have to click More Info, then Run Anyway.

This is how their system tracks app reputation. After many people click the "run anyway", the file become trusted. Sometimes.

I had the same problem some time ago.  After clicking the "run anyway" it has never appeared again.

EnglishTiger:
Along with MC32.exe AVG Internet Security also gets suspicious of JRService.exe, JRWeb.exe and JRWorker.exe. To get around AVG's dislike of MC32.exe I suspend it for 10 minutes while I install a new version of MC32 and start it running. Although it also gets suspicious of the 3 JRxxxx.exe files AVG's inbuilt analysis routines cut in when 1 of them is activated and in less than 30 secs declares them safe; it also submits the relevant.exe and it's findings to AVG Labs. The same happens for both MC32.exe and the 3 JRxxxx.exe files the next 2 times I open MC32 as either client or server. One thing I have noticed though is for the last 5 updates AVG has not been suspicious of JRService.exe.

I'm guessing that AVG Internet Security on the Mac works in a very different way because it has never found anything wrong when downloading, installing or running MC32 on the Mac Mini.
