Hi Clifton,
Just got this message.

I guess
update.pp.e is a legitimate file but I thought I'd ask you before restoring it. This happens quite a lot these days particularly with files made with autoIt. I'll have to add the powerpac folder to the list of exclusions in Windows Defender.

I've never seen Windows Defender throw up a message like this.
Nevertheless, if you downloaded from pgsoftwaretools.com, the installation files are fine.

I have seen quite a few. To avoid this you need to add certain folders or files to the exclusions list. If you're not already familiar with this here's a screenshot.

Did you see this by the way?
