After fresh release of Edition 2019 I faced problem on some computers which uses Windows 10 and Windows Defender software. The Microsoft Antivirus application found installation file of Movie Business (BFSetup.exe) as dangerous application with Trojan inside. I checked the installation file on my local machine with Windows Defender and no problems were detected. Only download from internet was problematic.

I report my application to Microsoft as so called false positive case. They check it quite fast and after few hours I got information that file was passed internal test and no problem were found.

So if you had problem during download and installation use the following step to get newest version of Windows Defender virus definition update.

Follow below steps (part of original Microsoft mail)
