Windows Defender is generally terrible, you're fine.

well the main thing is it was flagged 3 times, and showed some random file its installed

ive installed trojans before by accident, and what i experienced with windows defender is just like that

I've downloaded safe files that are triggered by Windows Defender as well, it usually flags them as Wacatac.B!ml

just dont allow it if you think its a virus or wait for the creators response its just a windows defender thing i got the same thing when i was trying to download a trainer for hitman

idk its either a mapbase thing that was infected, or XBLAH has malicious intent

if he wanted to put a virus he would've been already banned from here like overcharged got taken down

fair point, it might be a new thing, like i said, he either updated mapbase but it was malicious, or he updated his software and made it malicious

What's probably happening: the tool automates a lot of stuff. What also automates stuff? That's right, viruses. How will the antivirus understand if it's malicious or not?

all happened around the time i installed it
