MS Defender claims that it is infected with Trojan:script/wacatac.b!ml

Anything you can tell me about that? It just started after a Defender update. NetWorx was working fine before that reboot.

Unfortunately in the recent months Microsoft have been showing many false positive detections in various software. However, we have just checked networx.exe and were unable to reproduce this particular issue with the latest Windows Defender update.

Please try submitting the file to Microsoft, mentioning that you are getting a false positive. Once Microsoft re-analyse and whitelist the file, your problem should be resolved.
