Same at hosteurope.de and rwth-aachen.de as Mirrors.
The download of the .exe gets stopped by Defender after 99% and Defender says Trojan found.

Sorry about the confusion, the REPLY feature completely messes up my replies. This time I tried a new reply instead of specific
I downloaded Kodi 17.6 last week and have it saved on multiple volumes, such a flash sticks. Win Defender just started blocked the executable recently.
I had no issues with it previously.
This means the latest definition updates are what is telling WinDefender that the Kodi file is infected.
Until Kodi notices our posts and responds, I would NOT trust this version of Kodi. From what I am reading, this virus lets invaders take control of your PC'
That is certainly not worth the risk, even it is just a false positive
Because this is a Win Defender issue, Kodi team needs in investigate like YESTERDAY. LOL

FXB78..
I am a PC tech of 26 years.
Your response is uncalled for.
Perhaps you are NOT a Windows user, but millions of people will NOT be able to use Kodi after today.
And my being a member for 4 years has no bearing on this conversation.
It almost looks to me you are bored.. and entered the conversation just to pick a fight.
In fact, I would have preferred to contact the Kodi team privately, but the forum is my only choice.
Kodi team needs to know about this ASAP, especially since Kodi has been working directly with Microsoft and the relationship is important.

as I stated earlier, doesn't matter if the code is infected or not.
Win 10 has total control of the user's system.. much more so than earlier versions
As a Kodi team member, do you really want millions of people to suddenly NOT be able to use Kodi?
And if the team just shrugs and does nothing, don't you think that would push people to trust Plex over Kodi, which Microsoft now embeds in Win 10?
Think about it...

This is a public forum to report issues.
And a thousand people might report a problem, even when the problem is already solved.
If someone cannot productively respond to posts without insulting the writer, then why bother responding?
Am I responsible for your boredom?
No one is forcing to read our posts, let alone respond.
Doesn't proper common sense etiquette state that if you are going to respond or be helpful, that you should do it without an attitude?
Speaking as a PC professional in the real world and former psych therapist. I find it disheartening that:
I've been called both paranoid and dramatic, by supposed respected and important members of the community
And blamed/shamed for reporting an important issue early (on the first to detect Microsoft's AV issue)
If I didn't know any better, I'd say some people in the forums feel threatened by anyone who seems intelligent or concerned
Here's what is important...
It doesn't matter if I am 'in the know' or not about false positives
All that matters is Kodi teams know about it to STOP POTENTIAL REPUTATION DAMAGE with its Win users.
Contacting MS team should be a priority.
If you cannot SEE the importance of that, then I am beating a dead horse
