Same here..........
I am in the newest build of Windows 11 Home 23H2.

No warning here but easy fix - just shut off virus protection before installing - restart pc then turn AV back on

Firefox let me download them - Chrome and Edge blocked - but then Windows deleted the files pretty quick

Sure..... go ahead and take your chances.... it is your data.......
Fractal needs to fix this issue asap.
The file could have been altered in place by someone outside of Fractal.

Take care don't risk it until we know what is actually going on.

Just sent the Axe FX III driver through VirusTotal, 0 of 69 scanners found something, so maybe a false positive or already fixed...

I downloaded it and ran it through my virus scanners and it had O threats detected.

Looks like a new file.
Now passes a TrendMicro scan as well.......

I'm getting a virus warning in both Chrome and Windows. I've removed the post from the forum pending more info from engineering.

The problem seems to be the Windows zip tool. I zipped the same file using a Mac and it is now downloadable and scannable on Windows.

Would you please check this link?
