Anybody else recently been getting a virus detection by Windows Defender for 'Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml' in the en-GB language pack for Firefox?
It detects it in extensions\langpack-en-GB@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi in the Firefox profile directory.
Judging from a quick Google search, 'Wacatac' seems to be notorious for false-positive detections in all sorts of things, so I'm pretty sure it's a false positive. So, no thank you Defender, I don't want you to quarantine or delete the file - I need it for my web browser to work!
However, that being said, if I remove the extension (via the proper means, not deleting the file), will my Firefox revert to a default interface language, presumably en-US? I suspect I'm going to get bothered by this false detection every day until the Defender signatures get updated (or the extension is updated to avoid whatever triggers detection).
