False positives are a known problem of A/V for decades. If you choose to use one of the worst antivirus solutions known to man and woman, it is normal and expected to get an increased number of false positives.\n\nHowever, you refuse to report to Microsoft and expect the Pale Moon devs to solve Defender's issues? As a user of the Windows OS and Defender, you are not gaining much privacy-wise by not having a Microsoft account...\n\nIt is simple really. As mentioned:\n\na) Exclude the entire Pale Moon folder from Windows Defender detection. That's what Defender can offer you: disable itself.\nb) Start reporting all false positives to Microsoft (doing their job for them).\nc) Use a proper antivirus.\n\n* * *",
