mozjs.dll being flagged as trojan

Post by finchley » 2026-05-06, 09:43

After the latest Pale Moon (34.2.0) update MS Security Essentials is flagging mozjs.dll as a trojan. I let it remove it and as I expected Pale Moon would not run. Reinstalled Pale Moon and added the Pale Moon installation directory to the excluded list. Anyone else seeing this?
