v7.5.0 potential virus warning? - Fortinet Malicious_Behavior.SB

[Captain_Johnny]

Hi, I'm getting this virus warning upon downloading the new FSUPIC v7.5.0 (FortinetMalicious_Behavior.SB) - can you please advise further, thanks?

What antivirus software are you using?
This will ne a false-positive, You need to either disable the anti-virus while downloading/installing, or add an exception to allow it to be downloaded and ran.
You should also report this to the antivirus provider and they will check it and update their definitions.

Note that this has already been reported for Kapersky:

So its not anti-virus software on your PC that is detecting this?
Uploading there says that 1/56 security vendors flag it as suspicious, but not which vendor it is. The false-positive needs to be reported to the vendor.
As I said, there is nothing wrong with the downloadable installer - it is a false-positive and I can do nothing about this, it needs to be fixed by the vendor.
