I'm using Windows 11 Professional 64 bit.Windows Security thinks MC beta contains a virus. I'm sure it's a false alarm, but it was complaining about an unsigned DLL or some nonsense.

To suppress these alerts about MC, I had to adjust the Windows Virus & threat protection settings as follows:

       
  • Add File exclusion:
    C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Extensions\MFTools\MFTools.dll

       
  • Add Folder exclusion:
    C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)

Just wanted you to be aware of this.

Yes false positives happen all the time.. not much I can do about it, often it fix it self after a day or two
