    Hi @SHIN_01 did you download it from the official Acer website or from a third party site?
    If you downloaded it from Acer, it is probably a false positive from the antivirus, what version did you install and from where did you download it?

    Regards.

    Ok, before installing the update did you get a warning message that you should only download from the Windows Store?
    If you run the antivirus now, do you get the warning message again?
