I just tried to download Krypton 17 RC4 and got a message that the download was deleted due to a virus, It would not even let me download it. I then tried the nightly 20170129-5D8FC57 and it downloaded and installed and seems to be working.
Just an FYI for any body having this problem.

False positive, change your virus scanner.

Nope, not a virus

I think it possibly has to do with those January security updates... While I was cruising with Kodi... I received the dreaded BSD... The log gave the answer... Memory dump crash... everything is back to normal now... I removed one of the updates... my personal experience anyway...

I suspected as much. Funny thing is I was able to load and install the nightly. Can you recomment a virus scanner? I am using windows defender.
Thanks

I am also using Windows Defender and I didn't receive a false positive. It might have been a specific set of virus definitions, they are updated several times each day.
Regarding a choice for virus scanners; I have used several, privately and professionally and have come to the conclusion that Windows Defender is actually quite good. It might not catch as much malware as other scanners but it also has less bugs and is less intrusive than lots of other products.
Last but not least, it is not the cheapest anti-virus product but you'll get a free Windows license with it Big Grin

I would suggest you change if you get regular false positives. Changing because of one would be a silly knee-jerk reaction.

Same conclusion from many experts (from Mozilla and Google, not from Microsoft): on Windows 8/10, the only choice that makes sense is Windows Defender, any other AV is crap.

Can't you just add an exemption to Windows Defender? Like "kodi-17.0-Krypton*.exe"? Not very likely you would be simple minded enough to download it from anywhere other than the official site.

You can also disable Defender Real Time protection, install kodi and then re-enable Defender.

Yesterday everything was all right but now Windows Defender finds Troyan and deletes RC4
I think it's better install nightly build Big Grin

Just grab the 1/29 Krypton nightly and install it. MSSE at least has no problem with it (at this point anyway).
