Windows Defender detects malware in DMD

Brave browser has been flagged by Windows Defender for over a year, instead of blocking it Antimalware Service Executable goes into overdrive and chews up all cpu usage.

Many have reported the false positive, the browser is open source. Nothing has changed. So good luck with that.

I just downloaded the latest Brave browser and scanned it with Windows Defender -- no issues reported. Perhaps there have been issues in the past, but there don't appear to be any known ones at the moment.

Now, the separate tor browser component that's included, that's a different story. But the Brave browser itself is just fine.
