Today MicroSoft Windows10 Defender has two times detect "soffice.bin" as a trojan. Forceful MS Defender prevent the use of the whole LibreOffice Programm. It was necessary to uninstall LibreOffice and reinstall it.

Hi guys, Thanks for letting us know. I've seen similar reports. The 'authority' to inform about this issue however is Microsoft. Best, Cor

You can submit reports of false positives to Microsoft here: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/submission/submit.aspx You need to check the option “I believe this file should not be detected as malware”.

Keep MS Office in mind and you could here Bill saying: "It's our operating system, but your problem". If Libre is looking for success, you pointed the right way to fix the bug, but that way did not solve your problem. Personally I have set the "soffice.bin" file to the exception list of MS Defender. Not smart, not elegant but it solves my problem.
100 % aggree! I send some money to Libre because I think the product is valuable and their users are taken seriously. Of course it is a serious interest of microsoft to discredit rivals of Office 365. So it must be a serious interest of Libre to fight out all attempts of discrediting their product! I am a user. I do not want to fight with anyone. I want to use a valuable product, factured by a valuable community! Just doit, Libre!
@Friedrich, L, Thanks, sure. Can you please fill in the form from the link in comment #5, or maybe did you already do so..?
@Cor Nouws: "Can you please fill in the form from the link in comment #5, or maybe did you already do so..?" I tried this. But I deleted the trojan marked soffice.bin. Microsofts form does not take any notice to the Defender without a sample. Sorry ...
Hi Everyone, I too had this same problem with "MS Defender" saying that the "soffice.bin" was "Malware" and blocking it. But I DID NOT have to Re-Install LibreOffice like others have said. All I did was to go into the "QUARANTINE" Directory (of MS Defender) and mark the file for "RESTORE" and that fixed it. LibreOffice worked as before without ANY problems. Honestly though, when this happened I contacted LibreOffice (within 10 minuted) and notified them about the problem (thinking that POSSIBLY, JUST POSSIBLY) they might have come in contact with a Virus (or something else). I was hoping for them to take a look at the "Soffice.Bin" file (which I would have gladly sent them) I had in the Quarantine Directory (BEFORE I Restored it back to where it was). They dropped the ball (as far as I'm concerned) as they NEVER asked me to send (the Soffice.Bin file) to them Although I have not had ANY problems since I Restored the file it STILL make me concerned as to WHAT actually happened and WHY it did what it did. I do have to say in LibreOffice's defense that they were fast to respond to this issue although I do believe they could have done more... All through this time (including up to now) I have been reminded about an issue that happened sometime back in the 70's or 80's when some Game Maker (Software company whom I can't remember the name of) sent out CD's that customers bought, that unknowingly contained a virus that infected millions of users worldwide. I for one do not want to go through this again, nor do I wish the same for others. Hope this helps... Best Regards... Joe Schutts
