Its manual scanning feature makes use of AMSI, loading the AMSI modules registered with the system into its processes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>However, the Defender itself has a security measure that prevents any DLLs which are not signed by Microsoft from being loaded into its processes. This means that in case a non-Microsoft AMSI provider is registered to the system, Defender will try to load it, but will reject it because it does not have a Microsoft signature, and an error will be written to the event log.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This appears to be an intentional design in Windows Defender to only allow Microsoft&#39;s own AMSI DLLs to be used with it. The event log error is a result of this design and can be ignored by the customers.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is a known issue on Microsoft side and the following Microsoft KB article includes a filtering workaround in the &quot;A file hash isn&#39;t valid&quot; section: <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/win32\/amsi\/dev-audience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/win32\/amsi\/dev-audience<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of fsamsi64.dll file auditing error is being displayed in the Microsoft Windows security auditing event viewer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid.
