Adobe Acrobat random error

For a week now, after some AA update, defender randomly blocks a file that seems to be for an update or something, with an error popping up in the middle of the screen. The question is whether this is normal and I can add it to the trusted list, or if something is wrong.

  • You haven’t specified whether you're using the GenP or Monkrus method, but in this case, the outcome is the same. What you're seeing is a false positive, as the file has been modified during the patching process.

    Windows Defender, along with most other antivirus programs, will flag the file as HackTool:Win64/Crack!MTB, which is a common detection name for software patching/cracking tools.

    These types of files are often flagged even when they’re functioning as intended, simply because they’ve been altered from their original state. Antivirus software detects this modification and associates it with potentially malicious behavior. This is expected when using patching tools.

    All of this is already covered in either the GenP or Monkrus Setup, Troubleshooting, and Best Practices Guide.
