AM running WIndows 10 with Windows Defender, and no problem here.

I will soon publish 17.40. Then MS will get informed again (yaaawwn) with the "news": XY is no virus.

Please let me know if XYplorer_17.40_Install.exe makes any such problems.

Got no such problem with 17.40. Downloaded the .zip installer package & installed smoothly as normal.
