Hello, @obsleep. You’re not looking at a Trojan. You’re looking at processes that could POTENTIALLY be used maliciously, hence the reason we don’t download untrusted software. Specifically, VirusTotal shows NO SECURITY VENDER DETECTIONS for Obsidian 15.9 (See linked report). Looking at Dr. Web’s report, it sandboxed the file because pieces of it could potentially be used maliciously. Importantly, it did not detect maliciousness here, which is why it’s listed as neutral. Looking deeper into that report, it shows the concern was with the program being able to CREATE NEW WINDOWS, DELETE FILES, and similar things that Obsidian ordinarily does, things we want it to do, which are FEATURES (See linked report).
So, based on this, along with my longstanding trust of Obsidian’s developers. I had no problem installing this update. That’s my choice. Everybody else has the same choice! Enjoy your evening, folks.
Yeah, that’s why I’m confused. Thanks for clearing that up. Still, it found a specific trojan which was not present in my system.
As for Dr. Web I can’t change it since it installed by my employer.
