Hello,

 

Sorry to hear you're having some problems.  Could you post the exact error you are getting? I've also modified your topic title to be less capslock.  :down:

 

You can read here on common misconceptions of how some anti-virus software will give you false warnings. https://forums.cncnet.org/index.php?topic=4415.msg40547#msg40547

 

You can also do a virus total scan to check for yourself, https://virustotal.com/en/ everything checks out.

 

By chance, are you using Norton?

No, you didn't got a 'virus' you got a shitty 'virus scanner' telling you that something is a virus which is false positive. Use a relevant malware scanner like Malwarebytes so you don't have such issues, though paid version is the only one that does 'live protection' while free is just for scanning.
