problems when starting
Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2026 8:29 am
Hello. Today, when I tried to launch my OctoWoW client, Windows Defender flagged `wow.exe` as:
Trojan/Wacatac.B!ml
This is the same client I’ve been using to play, and I haven’t encountered this issue before.
Could you confirm whether `VanillaFixes11.exe` is a legitimate OctoWoW file and if this detection by Windows Defender is a false positive?
For now, I have left it in quarantine and have not disabled Windows Defender.
I can also provide a screenshot of the detection and the file path, if necessary.
Thank you.
