Windows Defender blocked 4.09 as threat

[Jacques Chatenay]

I just installed 4.09 and Windows Defender blocked 4.09 as threat

Someone else has reported similar.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and install the program and then see how WD reacts when you restart back to normal mode.

It's definitely a false positive as I updated mine this morning and Norton Security didn't bat an eyelid.

My Norton security went through a phase where it was kicking out the .exe and I had to put www.tweaking.com in as an exclusion.

If necessary, you may have to do the same for WD until its Definitions move on.

I assume you are using Win 10 - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4028485/windows-10-add-an-exclusion-to-windows-defender-antivirus
