I have F-Secure and updated to 15.4 using MultiUpdate without any problems.

Hi Matthias

As mentioned in my other thread re. splash screen, I got a blocking message as well, after updating MC.
Using MySecurity from Swisscom which in fact is F-Secure (Version 25.2 - and they themselves use Avira Endpoint Protection Client), it blocked MC's exe file and when looking up the reason for that it linked to F-Secure's web page for an entry of Drop.Win64.FakeProgSelfRun.31090 ...

As said there, this came with the upgrade.
When, afterward, installing the portable version from 'scratch', F-Secure didn't complain and all is well with the exception of the splash screen.

This just FYI in case that helps.
I am still using Windows 10 Pro 22H2...

I had the same issue with Windows Defender, and a deeper dive reveals that the only executable flagged was the MultiCommander updater. Two shortcuts pointing to that file were also flagged. The main program passed just fine...

And The Installer, Update package and Protable.  The binary files are exactly the same.. and somehow some AV only complain on some of them.

Trying to avoid false positive are a mess. There is not much as a small developer you can do about that more then hope that the AV vendors fix it in next AV update.. For each release there is alywas some that complain at first. but after a week or two the warning often goes away. that why Im trying not to push out releases too often becuse there are always some AV issue with some vendor.

User_99:
Also NO complain here after update.
