Was browsing through old links today, and I went to Patches Scrolls and
found the latest VTMB patch. Feb 27 2023, v11.3. Filename: VTMBup113.exe

Then Windows Defender immediately pegged it as malware and deleted it.

The identifier was "Trojan:Win32/Casdet!rfn" whatever that means, but it labeled it as "Severe."

I remember that some of you are plugged into this community project, I
think Werner. In fact, IIRC, Werner was responsible for it.

Anyone know what's up? I'm guessing false positive, but I'm not sure
who's in control of the project any more.

Probably a false positive but if you want to be sure upload it to virustotal[dot]com if the file is smaller than 650MB, they'll inspect it
with over 70 antivirus scanners and URL/domain blocklisting services. I
never run anything on my computer, regardless of source, without
checking the executable there first.

It's free and takes just a few seconds/minutes for a result. From their
site:

"Upon submitting a file or URL basic results are shared with the
submitter, and also between the examining partners, who use results to
improve their own systems. As a result, by submitting files, URLs,
domains, etc. to VirusTotal you are contributing to raise the global IT security level.

This core analysis is also the basis for several other features,
including the VirusTotal Community: a network that allows users to
comment on files and URLs and share notes with each other. VirusTotal
can be useful in detecting malicious content and also in identifying
false positives -- normal and harmless items detected as malicious by
one or more scanners."

Odd. It works just fine for me.

Yeah. VirusTotal turned up clean. Microsoft just screwed up. I stuck it
into an excluded folder, where it will stay until I can get the false
positive reported.

Microsoft has a 500MB limit on file submissions. Guess what's just over
500MB? Ridiculous.
