Hello everyone!

I'm new to FASM. I downloaded the zipped file from this site yesterday and when I unzipped it, Windows Defender gave me a warning about a trojan file.

The path of the threat is ..\fasmw172\EXAMPLES\PEDEMO\PEDEMO.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks!

Time to throw the garbage out. I mean, Windows Defender…

Antivirus software is crappy. It gives too many false positives because it lacks brains (so much for all the AI hype) and power/time to do proper analysis (you want the results immediately, so you can't have good ones). So, any time it sees something a little unusual or encounters a byte sequence that's previously been found in real malware (and that byte sequence may be perfectly innocuous in your program or even in malware), it'll panic.
I'm not sure if/how this can get fixed on large scale.

The AV is the malware. Simply delete the AV and problem solved.
