Roblox studio detected as trojan

Like a hour ago my windows defender detected roblox studio as trojan " Win32/Randet.A!plock". I know that it detected roblox studio as trojan because when i clicked to delete trojan then my roblox studio closed and deleted it also happened when i downloaded it second time.

A lot of people have been getting this as of recently. Has Roblox recently updated Studio on Windows? There might be an issue on their end causing Windows to detect it as a Trojan .

i wish they didnt force us to update and let us pick the version we want to install. instead of pushing untested versions to us .

Woah yeah same here. I was in the middle of starting up a local server for playtesting when I was hit with 5 windows notifs and studio crashing. Got the same exact message too.

On dev forum can you download malicious files since everyone can share links and let people download things and you know the hackers on Roblox

Roblox DEFINITELY added something that windows did NOT enjoy. It should at least come up with a mild severity rating but this is set at severe. I had to reinstall studio because I thought it might of corrupted somehow, yet here I am reading a dev forum post.

[EDIT: Im currently doing a full scan on my device and I have found multiple severe threats coming from ROBLOX studio, this might be more dangerous then you think so for the mean time I HIGHLY recommend you to uninstall ROBLOX studio entirely as there is a possibility that a real trojan is on the studio client as from I can see the client is extremely risky to use as of now.]

Good news: just found out that everyone getting this problem just hasn’t updated Windows. I just updated and having no issues so far.
Check for updates in settings and you’ll be good to go :slight_smile:

Same here, the antivirus blocks me from accessing the studio and detects it as a trojan.
