I am using an older version of Tickstory, namely v1.8.9.5, legally obtained and licensed, but currently Windows 10 is warning me that it contains the Win32/CoinMiner Malware. I would greatly appreciate some official and non-official feedback on this issue.
There is no other issue on my PC and I have run extensive scans and no other executable is reporting a problem, only on the TickStory executable!
EDIT: Just ran a scan with Malwarebytes and it reports my PC is absolutely clean!

Re: Tickstory v1.8.5: Windows Defender Alert
Hi FMIC,
Here is the VirusTotal report for Tickstory v1.8.5:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b86 ... /detection
It is clearly a false-positive report - all other engines have no issue with the installation. We have submitted a false-positive report to Microsoft to resolve this. Whenever this occurs, it will remove this alert for you.
Thanks.
