Support and Feedback / Re: Latest version of Multicommander detected as a virus

I imagined, I was just informing in case there was something that could be done.

Thank you!

Thanks Mathias.
I did wonder why/how it was the shell commands that caused it, have never seen it before.
I selected items in MC & then used ctrl+x / v using MC to navigate between folders. IIRC there had also been a file being moved to USB via MC move command/dialog when I'd started using the shell commands. 

That is the problem with Windows Shell and Shell Extensions.
When Shell things are called ether Windows things or from Shell Extensions,. They are run inside the calling process..  (here MultiCommander) and if they crash.. They bring down the calling app
(That Microsoft have not replaced that old legacy solution with something new is safe is craszy)

Windows did not complain for me on any of my other machines when doing an Update.

You can try to download the portable and see if it still complains.  Might be that it complains because of the installer.

Its false positive. again.
It is almost impossible to get a 100% clear score on virus total. specially for a program that do lots of file stuff. like a file manager.. For AV software that looks suspicious. normally the warning goes away after a couple of day. There is not much I can do.

If like 20+% of scanners on virtual total starts reporting an issue. than It might be an issue.

So I tried to install using auto-updater but failed, so I went to the webpage and download the latest installer.

MultiCommander_x64_(15.4.0.3088).exe
MD5: 140a68bf6c281779e0838e044d614ec7
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file-analysis/MTQwYTY4YmY2YzI4MTc3OWUwODM4ZTA0NGQ2MTRlYzc6MTc0NDg4MDAxMQ==

and clicked on upgrade.

It seems that Microsoft Security Essential is detecting it as a Virus: Wacatac.

Likely a false positive, worth to investigate in case it is not, and also to see if it can be done something to remove the false positive, whilst I can uncuarantine at home, I won't be able to do that at my work computer.

Copying using Copy / Paste is handled by Windows Shell and not MC.
Its crashed in a Windows components. (Actually the Windows shell undo manager.)  not in MC code. so impossible to say why it crashed..

Thanks Mathias
Had a couple of crashes/restarts when using ctrl+x ctrl+v. 
Sent in the crash reports. It referenced kernel.dll in one dialog.
