That post is irrelevant!

It is not about the installer, but after installation.

Please see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=142185&name=PUA:Win32/InstallCore&threatid=213927

It's completely relevant - there is NO virus, Trojan or any other nasty in Bitcomet. The ONLY time a problem is reported is when the A/V scans the installer file and finds that algorithm

[mragross]

Was packagin Segurazo Antivirus also a false positive? That was a literal malware. No consent option from Bitcomet either.

[Rhubarb]

You won't get the 'consent' until the program begins to install and your a/v is blocking that. You HAVE to disable a/v, install andd then restart thje a/v.

It is NOT malware - it's an optional app but due to the a/v detecting the bundle installation, it blocks it.

I repeat - there is NO malware, there is NO Trojan and therte is NO virus. The post I gave tells you what is happening and why
