    I have just tried to d/l the new launcher and my puter says it has a virus. Can someone look into this? I used the link in AndrewKM's mail in Announcements.

    I wondered when Mojang/Microsoft would start putting the screws to it's new acquisition, Minecraft. I salute you, Andrew for standing up for us.

    It's not a virus, you can use it without problem. It's a false positive.

    Windows Defender is trying to tell me it's a virus, too.

    It's just a standard thing when a java jar is repackaged into an exe. It needs to be signed with a certificate and shit. Which is a process that's currently underway. Until then, just whitelist the file.
