    Just tried downloading after a time away and Windows is refusing to keep the file as it says this : Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.D!ml is a trojan and it auto deletes the file… Any ideas about this?

    Yes, this always happens with every new version release.
    False Positive is a bug in antivirus, but since we have no affiliation with antivirus vendors and have no access to their source code we can not help them fix it.

    Please read the reminder in the main status thread:

    A reminder about antiviruses.

    Since this is a new version of Miqobot, it may be flagged by your antivirus as False Positive because its signatute is not yet known. As it is stated in our FAQ section, Miqobot is not a virus but antiviruses are usually trained to sic at anything that tries to interact with other programs. Miqobot will make no attempt to fight your antivirus.

    Please remember to whitelist your Miqobot application after download. Thank you!

    Even if you did not experience this problem before, it doesn’t mean that you never will. Antiviruses are updated often and each update has a chance to introduce a new false positive bug.
    We highly recommend to report this behavior to your antivirus vendor.

    Turned off protection and installed πŸ˜€ thanks for the seemingly bot-like response, it was actually helpful! πŸ˜€

    We apologize if our response seems automatically generated. This question is asked after every new release, therefore we have the answer ready.

    Don’t worry, it’s just one of those questions where a standard answer is best.

    better practice is to whitelist miqobot in your protection and not to disable it entirely.
