So My friend's bit defender scanned and said it was a trojan and so i uploaded a fresh download of the same 1.7.10 version from curseforge and put it into virus total and the same thing popped up but with 10 AVs:

Most recent one for 1.12.2 is fine: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7407e42796459e8ecb66fc7be3cecb64a8e691864b5e7c5afabaffd05994f9d3

Same here on my PC and one of my mates playing on my server. My mates are a bit worried about that :(.

My windows defender also identified an old version of the mod 1.7.10 0.9.4.5.4 as a trojan.
Wacatac.B!ml to be exact. Has there been any update on this?

No updates so far.

Have the same problem too.

TL;DR false positive

The same problem occurred and I decompiled the mod. The problem is EnderIOProxy, which contains 2 versions of bytecode. Because of the difficulty to decompile this bytecode, the antivirus considers it a virus. I can't say exactly what it does, but it doesn't do any harm by looking at the bytecode.

Screenshots of the bytecode from Sublime Text (lol)
