I get a warning for 8.3.1 as well, but for Backdoor:Win32/Bladabindi!ml

That's on Windows 11. On Windows 10, nothing is reported when extracting the file.

Has this been confirmed a false positive? I got the same trojan warning 'Wacatac' today from updating to 8.4.1. 

Thanks!

Many users report that their antivirus software flags Simhub 8.3.0 as a potential threat during download, leading to concerns. However, this is often a false alarm triggered by specific file behaviors that some antivirus programs misinterpret as malicious. Always ensure you download software from official sources to avoid genuine threats. For those dealing with more serious security issues, like hacked accounts, it’s worth checking out helpful resources on x (twitter) hacks to stay informed about protective measures and recovery steps.

It’s possible that this is a false alarm. Sometimes, antivirus programs flag software like Simhub due to unusual behavior patterns, even if it’s safe. To be sure, check that you’re downloading from Simhub’s official site or a reputable source. You can also verify by scanning the file with multiple antivirus programs or services like VirusTotal for extra peace of mind.
