Hi to everyone. I am a TexLive user, trying to install the program on a new
machine.
My antivirus put in quarantine the exe file signaling the presence of a
problematic threat named "Drop.Win32.FakeProgSelfCopy.143442943111". So, I
stopped the installation and I just wanted to make you know about this
issue. Maybe it is a false positive, but I prefer to be cautious and wait
for your response.

I think also that in order to make future users safe it is important to
make sure that there is no threat and also maybe rename it so that it is
not detected as one.
Thanks for the attention
