So a couple of months ago, windows defender started flagging some jackett files as trojan, it’s still flagging it for me. Devs told everyone to just ignore it. Do we have a consensus about it?

Seems to only affect windows and is a false positive which seems reasonable
I didnt even know they built it for windows

The *arrs are (or were, at least - Jackett is part of that family) dependent on Microsoft’s .NET framework. I clearly remember having to set up Mono to get Sonarr running in a Debian VM some years ago…
All the responses in that and other github issues that are saying it’s a false positive are from the developers of the project. I was wondering if someone else with expertise verified it.
On VirusTotal only 2/67 Antivirus vendors flag it as anything
That’s the usual sign of a false positive, a real malware/virus issue would show up in pretty much all the main scans.
EDIT: Here’s another scan, 0 antivirus vendors flagged in this one - Jotti is a much smaller site but you get the idea
First I’m hearing of this, but I run it in docker on Linux.
3rd party issue. No action needed by jackett.
Sound normal for Windows, back when I was using Windows I usually had to whitelist torrent clients in Windows Defender otherwise the torrent client .exe would disappear randomly during a virus scan. It was always some sort of false positive.
I did not know about this, I had it installed somewhere in the past. I will revise the codebase tomorrow just in case.
