      Hello,

      I'm on the (near) latest Windows 10 Pro N Insider Preview build, 18252 prerelease. I'm looking to switch from chrome to Vivaldi as a first time user. However, after downloading and installing the package from the Vivaldi's official page, I got this notice from windows defender:

      (mirror)

      This must be a false alarm, right? After some googling, it seems other windows installers occasionally suffer from this false positive. Including, interestingly enough, the game Subnautica. Is this a case of some code, unknown to the developers? Or is it an actual trojan? Thanks for any input.

      EDIT: I am running chrome at the moment, and the application affected is chrmstp.exe, chrome's updater.

      Yup, thanks. I'm trying to put [FIXED] in the title but it keeps flagging as spam, haha.

      @corrigenda That happens sometimes. I managed to mark it as resolved.

      @gwen-dragon I added it, I usually do this, because in mobile view the tags are not being shown. I mean, will it hurt anybody if I add this into the title as well? ๐Ÿ˜›
