Re: Windows Defender just quarantined and deleted SCM off my PC
It is know as a FALSE POSITIVE.
AV programs basically guess if they think something is a virus if it hits a few markers.
unknown publishes (yes)
code protected to deter cracked versions (yes)
planets in alignment (yes)
All we can / you do you is report it to Microsoft, they will (probably not) admit their mistake / apologise and remove it from the next update to their product.
As to getting around it. If you trust the above is correct, then:
Please check your anti virus / security software and make sure the applications program files folder:
c:\program files (x86)\soundcloud manager
is whitelisted and / or all the .exe and .dlls in that folder.
