Virus in VAE?
So...After I moved SD directory to a new location, Windows Defender decided to quarantine VAE file (after I launched SD), and now I can't use it.
Is this for real, or Windows Defender is mistaken by chance?
I've been using this VAE for ~2 months, without any problems up until today as well. The webui failed to load, with a message stating that the VAE "may be malicious", after which it was automatically quarantined by the AV. It's likely just a false positive; even still, a .safetensors variant would be preferable.
So if I had to take a guess, there's something about the VAE that is triggering the AV's machine-learning-based protection for some reason.
For now I'm using vae-ft-mse-840000; the resulting images are slightly sharper but the colors are a little over-saturated when compared with images generated with orangemix.vae.pt loaded.
yes there is a virus inside, starting somewhere last week - just tried it again today on 20.03 and defender is still not happy -.-
Same here, it believes "Casdet!rfn" is a trojan.
false positive... it's the same VAE that's been in circulation and many models use this as well (anythingv3)
check CRC for yourself
Windows Defender's update did something about it , search Casdet!rfn and you will see it pops up everywhere
Update: re-downloaded the VAE and scanned it again after a definitions update, and the VAE is no longer identified as a threat. Even still, I'd prefer a .safetensors version of it but since it's (to my knowledge) a clone of another VAE that was leaked, that probably won't happen anytime soon.
it is actually a false positive. just like after you downloading a pirate games
