Don't whitelist it. Chances are that is malware. I would think anything with an ! in the file extension suspicious. I don't know how it got into the new version but suggest nobody downloads 2.80 until we get to the bottom of this. It might be a false alarm or it might not.

EDIT - defender doesn't find anything unusual in my download but extracting it to an archive came up with checksum error. I will do some more detailed digging.

My download dated 4th Feb doesn't show any errors either as an archive or extracted, must be a recent issue.

Ok well I'm at work now will try to download again and see if it detects the same issue, then report back. I'm guessing it's a false positive as I've had installed for some time now on the laptop without any issues.

I downloaded 2.80on the 4/2 and as usual ignored windows warnings as its was nothing specific. I also have Norton 360 running too and that did not bat an eyelid, nor has the latest Malwarebytes scan found anything.
Fingers crossed.....

Probably caused by a security policy on John's PC that prohibits unsigned executable files.

It's far too complex and expensive to get non-commercial apps signed to the standards required by Microsoft, so you just have to whitelist them if you know they are safe.

Ok just downloaded V2.80 from VivaDatv as I've always done and McAfee browser protection never flagged any issues but as soon as the download was complete Windows Defender flagged up it was contaminated with the same Contebrew.A!ml as before ? So I ran both V2.79 and V2.80 on a online file checker an the results are as follows

V2.79

V2.80

So I'm sure this is just Windows getting it wrong again ?

sorry for got to say Sophos defines "Generic ML PUA detections" as "Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) is a term used to describe applications that, while not malicious, are generally considered unsuitable for business networks."

So I ran a full scan of the laptop with Windows Defender and nothing was found, just downloaded V2.80 again and no complaint of any infection ? You've gota love windows at times !

Are you running Windows 11 John? Apparently it doesn't like unsigned apps/progs.
