trojan report in plugin alliance installation

stobe

FYI, Windows defender reported this in a recent install. I am on Windows 10 Pro.

Best to contact Plugin Alliance for this. They may be under NI now, but it's still a separate place with its own customer support.

It's probably just a false alarm, though.

It is an absolutely false report. Assuming of course that your download is through Native Access and not from some other source.

Windows Defender is really a poor antivirus and it gives false alarms very often. I suggest to use a serious antivirus:

AVAST, Bitdefender, McAfee, ESET NOD32, Malwarebytes, Norton, Webroot, F-Secure, Trend Micro. Those are the Top-10 Antivirus.

However if you still feel insecure (which is very understandable), you can upload the file to the world-trusted Virus Total service, for a complete and thorough scan:

Probably the same false alarm some people experienced with Native Access:
