Just following up, sorry it took me a bit to get around to poking at this proper. Defender still bounces this file specifically, MYTH_ShatterEffect.zip, though the other plugins I've updated have caused no stir whatsoever (such as the dynamic hue shifter, state window, etc.). I reproduced the result on a different computer, so I'm not sure what about this download specifically it snags on. Might just be remembering the false positive from before and the other device is synced to those settings? The Demo file for this plugin, which includes that same script I imagine, causes no such issues. I unzipped it and scanned it and everything, no reports.

I'm pretty sure it's just my stuff being squirrelly, so I don't think it needs any further attention unless the result is repeatable elsewhere (I'm curious to see if it does or doesn't). Maybe it's something with the file host? I don't expect y'all to be like digital security folks or anything, so sorry to bother if this is like, too much wading into the weeds and all.

EDIT: I did some sniffing around because I thought this output was kind of weird given the inconsistency above, and it turns out the "ml" in the error below is for "machine learning", and apparently that automated detection is a little prone to flagging false positives. Maybe the demo looks more legitimate to the model given the additional structure in it, I dunno.

The specific error code looks like this, if it better the understanding any:

Detected: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml

We appreciate your caution! The error code will be pretty helpful to narrow down what's going on. We may not be security folks, but we have a few friends in that field so we can have them take a look at it. Hope it's nothing but it never hurts to be careful :)

I downloaded this plugin today with no bellyaching from defender, so I do think it was just that automated assessment being twitchy. Thank you for your efforts and for putting together great plugins as always ^^
