new pvst beta (updated 28-Feb-2026)

[polac]

Must be false positive. Some versions ago windows defender also alarmed me with pvst(and shell2vst). I'm pretty sure i have no malware of virus on my system.

have a same problem on Firefox, trying to downloads latest v47 version.
Maybe its a false positive, but when i started scanning for VSTs
it tried to call 140.82.121.5 which is GitHub domain.
It may be a reason why its treated as dangerous behaviour

P.S. it is reported for scan.x64.exe

Hmm, download works here with Firefox, also no problem with Defender. Perhaps the scanned vst calls to github?

Chrome 'blocked' it for me, but could just rename the .crdownload to .zip in my downloads folder to grab it. Windows Defender happily allowed it though. Sure it's just some compression thing triggering the heuristic scan or just the methodology of it recursively stepping through .dll files in the Program Files folder makes it seem like similar behaviour to malware
