Virus Alert Preventing 2.1.6 Install


c0c0c0

Question

I'm installing MO2 on Windows 10. Downloading the 2.1.6 version from Nexus, both the exe and archive versions are triggering a Defender virus alert:

I downloaded the 2.1.2 version from github, which worked fine. Then I  used the in-app  "Update Available" version to get the latest, and that method also failed. This time, it downloaded, and then could run the install steps, probably because the files(s) had already been quarentined.

 

Not sure if this is a false alarm or what, but some guidance on what this is all about would be appreciated. Thanks!

False positive. MO2 is totally safe.
