We cannot reproduce the problem on our systems and we cannot fix Defender.
We checked using the same Defender definition version: 1.355.247.0

What Windows do you use?

I have still yet to consolidate data events but it seems to be happening only on 2016 and 2019 servers.

I'm checking 2012 ones rn.

Hi there,

I also had the same problem with a customer. Here the Windows Defender update has classified the rma_active.exe process as a threat and terminated it continuously. Putting the process on the exception list helped.

System: Windows10 Pro 21H1

It has occurred since the pattern update was played.
Installation successful: The following update has been installed. Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.355.269.0)

I also have it happening on numerous machines, Windows Defender is identifying RMA as 'Trojan:Win32/Injector.RPZ!MTB'

We momentary treated the issue by launching this command on each concerned server:

Code:
powershell.exe -command Set-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'C:\Program Files (x86)\HostMonitor\RMA-Win\rma_active.exe'
net start ActiveRMAService


It just adds the rma exe to exclusions in windows defender then start the service again.

Today Microsoft updated Defender definitions, should work fine after system update:
open command prompt as administrator and run
---------
cd c:\Program Files\Windows Defender
MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures
MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate
---------

Thanks for your return.

Did apply it on two servers, it works, but if rma was quarantined you still have to autorize it. I did it manually.

Rma is not flagged by windows defender anymore.

Also make sure Defender does not check HostMonitor log and report files, sometimes it uses a lot of system resources.
