I have a Visual Basic-application that I have created, but when some weeks ago, Windows Defender starting reporting this as malware (Trojan:MSIL/AgentTesla.ARR!MTB).
I tried to recompile it in Visual Studio 2019, but still same result. I then submitted it to the threat intelligence center, and they said that they scanned it, found no issues, and whitelisted it. But still now Windows Defender reports it as malware. It does not seem that the whitelisting is working properly.
I have whitelisted the application in my Windows installation so I can run the application - but I would really like to fix the issue because the application is used by other persons as well.
How can I find out what triggers the malware detection? I have tried to publish both as debug and relase version. Same issue. Anything else I can do to avoid the false positive detection? The application is really simple.
