Default Recent UpRev Rom Editor Virus?

Anyone else having an issue with the latest upRev update?

My windows defender keeps deleting it due to Malware threat being detected. I cant stop it from doing it either. I cant open my UpRev tuner anymore.

Im hoping im not alone.

There is nothing wrong with the update.

Always disable anti virus software, to include windows defender if you're using 10, before opening any Uprev programs.

Worst case scenario if anti virus software interrupts an ECU flash it can crash your ECU.

Yea I disabled it last night and it opened fine. But now windows keeps crashing it.

I was just wondering if anyone else had the sameness issue with a "virus". Even if it had one I honestly don't care as long as the program runs. It's my back up reserved for tuning at the point. But windows kept deleting the source file.

But no I'm also on 8 still. My main desktop is 10.

I'm not sure how that program works, but most programs that modify (PC) registry settings will trigger a virus warning. Disable UAC/defender and re-install.
