Trojan.MSIL.Basic.8.Gen while generating controller code in Visual Studio 2022

ryanacer

coreclr tried to load a malicious resource detected as Trojan.MSIL.Basic.8.Gen and was blocked. Your device is safe.

Blocked as suspicious activity and no options to add to exceptions.

I've been uninstalling your antivirus (Bitdefender Total Security) to get over with my projects in Visual Studio 2022.

using VS2022: (WebApp MVC) Dependencies

Packages: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore(7.0.5) , Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer(7.0.5) , Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools(7.0.5) , and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design(7.0.6)

Frameworks: Microsoft.AspNetCore.App and Microsoft.NETCore.App

Hello Flexx,

I tried everything you suggests from 1 to 4 and none of them works, I did set a bunch of known process while executing the controller code generation even everything on Bitdefender is disabled. Took me a while and I really need to finish my work without having my computer compromised while its disabled. Then I came across with this switch on the Advanced tab of Antivirus page to enable and disable "Scan Scripts" and that lets the code generations go through in Visual Studio 2022.

Just a thought it would be great if they have a shortcut in the notification page, that when you select that type of notification, there is a shortcut in the notification itself that can redirect to that settings or like a button there to press to "Temporary Allow Scripts" in a certain period of time that will auto turn back on after, so that less headache from the user is generated. :)

Getting our projects to work is sometimes a headache already, then this kind of thing will add to the headache when this happened and you know what I mean.

In summary, the "Scan Scripts" option in the Advanced tab of the Antivirus settings solves my problem even without having to add anything to exclusions of generating the controller code from VS2022

Thanks
