Trying to install 8.5 version. During the process, when I refuse the offer of the "Browser Security" option, the FFS installation aborts. The same was for the 8.4 version. Any suggestion? Does this option actually become a mandatory component of FFS?
Thanks

I was offered "ByteFence Anti-Malware", which I declined, clicked, Next, & the install then finished without incident.

What OS?
You are running the actual installer, FreeFileSync_8.5_Windows_Setup.exe (or similar), downloaded from FFS.org?
