Cynet which is a threat itself IMO, because it will remove many of the users' legit files, is also marking many of the Microsoft signed files as Malicious (score: 100)

Visual Studio Files:

Windows Files:

Most of Windows files are detected as Malicious (score: 100) yes the score of all are 100 :))

Why every dumb developer who claims to have a security solution is added to VT?!

    Cynet

    Cynet isn't a Microsoft product, so contact the software vendor support instead.
