[Fleur-De-Lis]

The really crazy part is that I was playing in a MG casino when my Windows Defender popped up to alert me after it scanned for the night. LOL. Automatic updating isn't always as precise as we might at first believe. You may not have gotten the same update a few of us did that triggered this false positive. I remember for a while, SpyBot was triggering alerts with any MG installation as being AdWare when it was really part of the casino program to contact their servers. I honestly wouldn't worry about it. You were spared a needless panic

This is a problem with these products. They simply offer a warning, but it is up to the user to decide whether it relates to a true risk or not. It will specify the offending software, and leaves it up to the user to decide if they are happy to trust that the alert relates to a component they can expect to be trustworthy. The "low risk" warning relates to the detected behaviour, which in most casinos is making contact with a server from within the software without asking for specific permission from the user. The same behaviour also triggers alerts with firewalls whenever the casino uses a server it has not used before. If you trust the casino, just ignore the alerts by placing the application on the ignore list, and select the equivalent of "always allow" in the firewall.

Where these alerts are triggered by what might be regarded as a "clip joint", then the above advice is not appropriate. It would then be best to investigate further, such as do other casinos with the same software trigger the same alert (meaning it is a general component), or is it just the one "clip joint", indicating they have some custom variant, and may well be up to no good.
After evaluating this, ask yourself WHY you have the "clip joint" on your PC in the first place. (If you just wanted fun with their silly fre chip, fine, but don't be tempted by their dodgy deposit offers).
