The reason why SCT gets flagged by Windows Defender

[gazecube]

Describe the bug SCT is being reported as Trojan:Win32/Detplock by Windows Defender.

Reproduction Open Windows Defender and do a quick/full scan.

Expected behavior I would've expected that I would be able to download it and run it without any false-positives. ;-)

First of all, there's no version 1.2.5? Secondly, I can't do anything about Windows Defender. Microsoft detects that SCT blocks access to the theme handles in memory. That's basically blocking out system processes which Windows Defender blocks (SCT removes all rights for the theme handle which DWM uses to draw windows, which forces it to manually draw the classic theme). This makes a lot of sense from Microsoft's perspective. But for SCT that means that I'm unable to release an executable that won't get flagged by most antiviruses.
