Avira detects malware in latest MP Windows installer
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2016 8:08 pm
FYI the Windows version of MP I just downloaded from http://download.xnview.com/XnViewMP-win-x64.exe was quarantined by my Avira Antivirus Pro software. Its report was:
The pattern of 'PUA/InstallCore.Gen [riskware]'
detected in file '[...]\temp\XnViewMP-win-x64.exe-{46d29543-77f2-409c-add4-520233ffead5}.dtapart'.
Action performed: Move file to quarantine
I doubt there's actual malware in it; just FYI that Avira is flagging it. Here is the Avira version I have:
