Hi,

Hate that this is my first post but when attempting to download the latest Windows version of Processing it is getting stopped by Windows Defender for…

“TrojanDownloader:JS/Jasobfus.B!ml”

I am unsure if this is a legitimate threat or if it is a Java include that is being misidentified. I am using the link on the main page for both Window32 and Windows64 bit version.

TIA,  
Keff

Here is the complete details from windows defender…

Confirmed. I am getting the same virus messages when trying to download the Windows files. I am currently unable to install Processing (same as anyone else that tries).

TrojanDownloader:JS/Jasobfus.B!ml

You could try submitting to [https://www.virustotal.com](https://www.virustotal.com) or similar. Last time this came up it was a false positive related to JOGL IIRC. Also see [https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5329](https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5329) and related links.
