Just FYI - after updating to the latest 21.8.1 version of XYplorer I got a virus warning from MS-Defender:

I have similar.
Now I need to prove there isn't an issue (if there isn't?)
to get this reapproved on my work laptop..since it was automatically removed/blocked.

It may have triggered when I started a large copy operation from XY.. or just a coincidence.

The good old false positive. The Windows 8.1 defender had no problems with it. :roll:

0200 will come out soon...

#MeToo.

I am also getting false positives on another application I've used for years.

Really annoying!

The newest beta is clean for my actual Kaspersky Ant-Virus and also for Windows Defender with actual signatures.
Virus Total only has one complain from Cylance, a tool no one knows.
So XYplorer is clean.
Windows 11 Home, Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.7462)
Portable x64 XYplorer (Actual version, including betas)
Display settings 1920 x 1080 Scale 100%
Everything 1.5.0.1402a (x64), Everything Toolbar 2.1.1, Listary Pro 6.3.6.99
