    HI User, Welcome in Community

    Ok, the !ml at the end of Trojan:Win32/Commando.A!ml stands for Machine Learning. Defender’s AI model is flagging your application based on its behavior, not its actual code.

    Did you run some scans in your system for exclude that there is an active infection?

    If not, open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection

    • Select Scan options → Full scan
    • Let the scan complete and follow any recommendations

    Then run a full scan using Malwarebytes:
