Just downloaded the Multibit (Windows) client from their site and tried to install it. Bitdefender immediately detected the process "malicious application", blocked it and flagged the install file "virus", deleted it. Tried twice with the same result. "Virus name: MIDAS3" .. (eg. "Malware Intrusion Detection Advanced System" .. BitDefender proprietary technology it seems).
Can anyone offer insight as to why? How do I know this file is safe to use? Given this is a banking client (in essence) and my first Bitcoin excursion, I'm a little on-edge. Thanks for assistance!
