12/4/2023 0 Comments Crystal diskmark.![]() If I had to guess, I'd say that some recent Defender update happens to have a new virus definition that the Crystaldiskmark temp files coincidentally match and gives us a false positive.Įdit: I had a pretty old version of Crystaldiskmark, so I downloaded the latest from their website, and it does the same thing. However, when I actually run a benchmark, and Crystaldiskmark starts creating the temp benchmark data files, that's when Defender starts notifying me of infections. You can confirm this yourself by right clicking on your Crystaldiskmark folder and selecting "Scan with Microsoft Defender". So I find it highly questionable that the temp files are infected. Those temp files are only created on the fly when you start a benchmark run, then they are deleted afterward. And note that Defender is only flagging the *temporary* benchmark files as infected, not the actual Crystaldiskmark executables. I've been using this Crystaldiskmark for a long time with no issues before now. I have Windows 10, and it just started doing this on my machine.
