Hi folks,

It might be that Windows Defender is assumed to be the culprit but perhaps. like Neb points out, other demons are at work. As Propianist asked me, “what would I do if my BitDefender gave me a warning?” I would probably check out the file it screens and quarantines further. I am assuming that like Bitdefender, the Windows Defender stores the file in quarantine and gives the warning. Thus one is warned not to run it.

On the other hand, if you cannot even download it, then I would not think that Windows Defender is the culprit. I would instead aim towards the web browser in use and the “level of security” that it is set at.  If it is a high level of security, then it will aggressive search out problems.

In this case, try switching from whatever Web Browser you ARE using to Chrome, Opera, Firefox or whatever. Then see what happens. Alternatively, lower the current level of security of the browser to ‘intermediate’ of whatever is medium to reduce the aggressiveness of heuristics just as Neb pointed out.

Lastly, if I were having this issue I would download it, store it and then download another trial virus software and run it on the file.

Hope these ideas help.

I installed upgrade without much problem. I noticed there were two (2) new files in the Product Manager. One was the install for the upgrade, and the other was the data content. I installed the upgrade first, then the content. Then rebooted and a new icon EZD3 was on the desktop. It opened the standalone ok. As far as the virus talk, I use Bitdefender, so I left it running during the download. It showed no notifications of malicious content in the downloads.
