    Is there a way to get the NI folks' attention about this issue? If malware really did slip into an update, I would think they'd like to know about it. I have filed a support request.

    NI's installer team is already aware of it.

    Can anyone tell us whether this is a real problem or a false positive?

    It looks like this can be installed even if windows has detected it, so be careful. The original attempt was "blocked" by windows and caused the Native Access app to throw an error. I updated WIN and tried a second time. On this run, WIN threw a warning and quarantined the downloaded zip, but it looks like the Access app was able to extract the zip before it was removed. I did not realize this until I saw the "Maschine2" icon on the desktop, so I really hope this is a false positive :)

    Same here. I just purchased Komplete 14 Standard last night. I attempted to install Massive X today and got the trojan warning from Windows 11.

    I also had the problem of Massive X 1.4.3 update failing in Windows 11. I turned off real time protection in Defender and Native Access was able to complete the update. Then I turned real time protection back on, and tested that the plugin would run in the DAW, and it seemed to work fine.

    False positive, Defender's heuristics went wild a bit. Feel free to select Allow on device.

    Same issue here for making Massive X working on my backup laptop. Tried everything, I even completely reinstalled windows 10 22H2. Nothing worked. By disabling defender, the installation succeeded, but Massive X is still not available within Maschine.
