Re: foo_pd_aac: Flagged as trojan by Microsoft Defender Reply #2 – 2020-12-24 07:17:33 Looks like another lovely case of false positive. VirusTotal mainly shows the typical nonsense detections, same engines that "detect" absolutely everything as malicious. Quick check at API calls it makes shows suggests that it does nothing malicious and is just a typical helpful component. I submitted the file to Microsoft for re-evaluation.
