Docker Desktop 4.17.0.99724 from Package Feed Module detected virus (false positive?)

[normanperez]

Hi Team,

Hope everyone is doing well. Could you please take a look at the Docker Installer from Package Feed Module. I tried to install it using command-line and got the below error. Posting all the text displayed in the cmd.

same here today! removed docker, installed it again via same setup file... looks like it's windows virus protection that removes files that docker installer extracts :'D

windows protection history's blocked threat:
Detected: Backdoor:Win32/Bladabindi!ml
Status: Removed
A threat or app was removed from this device.
Affected Items:
File: %appdata%\..\local\temp\DockerDesktop\wiklho2gtpj

So seems to be a false positive, or I was running a virus the pasts few weeks. But I have 't used docker anyway yet^^ Still, I'm gonna wait until it's officially fixed from either side.

[oliiix · Accepted solution]

Looks like I found the problem. After uninstalling, docker left some leftovers in the hosts file!

Do you also have uninstalled docker and try to reinstall it now? If so, remove all Docker entries from your hosts file! This helped me, it is installing at this very moment. No idea why though :'D

Thanks for following up with your findings here. Our team had the same experience. We put these through several checks before making them available, and all indications are that it is fine. Still, concerning to see this type of thing, so hoping they address it quickly.
