Post by kyprime22 »

so I wanted to update to the latest version, and for the first time, windows warns me about this program, this never happened with an older version, including the very previous one 1.16.0

Its always random, anti-virus software always have some false positives.

Here is the way to check for yourself:

1. Open download page https://www.makemkv.com/download/ , from link open the hash file, for this release - https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv-sha-1.16.1.txt

1a (If you are really paranoid, and know about GPG and digital signatures). Verify the above-mentioned hash file.

2. Upload the MakeMKV setup file to virustotal - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/86c ... /detection

3. Check the file hash, in this case the string "86c76877d3441603d79af576bcc8923033598aebe393a79bae6ab621a558d067" - it should be the same in MakeMKV hash file, and in virustotal output. If it is, then you have an unaltered installer from makemkv.com , otherwise you've got a virus.

4. Look at the virustotal output. If you see a lot of red, do not install. Don't make a decisions on personal trust, use computer algorithms :)

The screenshot you posted says it all. Windows doesn't know the program and then it went in full alert mode to scare you. The message is ridiculous.
