Possible virus - Microsoft defender - PUA:Win32/Vigua.A

[LJFLAT]

I just had a message from the Windows Defender scan which removed Skater.exe with this message PUA:Win32/Vigua.A.

It might be my side but just raising this as something to investigate

No source code, meaning this potentially has a virus. If you are not opensourcing, why would you give it free?

Or we may be we are too sceptical, dude obfuscated this executable as well, and defender thinks it is a virus.

I have neither time, nor willing to investigate...

this is a virus

Regarding antivirus usage, any .NET Obfuscator inserts unusual pieces of code into a protected .NET assembly. This can cause antivirus software to flag the obfuscated code as potential malware. Microsoft Defender, an anti-malware component of Windows, can be adjusted to avoid extensive scanning of obfuscated files.

If you've escalated your Windows user account's security level, it might also contribute to this issue. Your protected .NET assembly may contain suspicious characters due to obfuscation. To resolve this, adjust your Defender settings or revert your user security level.
