Malwarebytes 3.2.2 is flagging the 9.4 Donation Edition windows setup exe file as containing:
PUP.Option.BundleInstaller.Generic
The 9.4 Portable exe file is not getting flagged, and three previous Donation Edition windows setup exe files are also reported clean by the same version of Malwarebytes.
I'm assuming this is false positive. Anyone else getting a Malwarebytes report like this?
Version 9.4 Donation Edition

Really? At least according to VirusTotal (0/64) Malwarebytes doesn't flag it:

Zenju, you are correct, and I noticed that also. The Malwarebytes flag is coming from new installed premium version 3.2.2. The versions of the various antivirus/malware engines in VirusTotal are reportedly (from what I've read), older and/or not a rigorous as the latest retail versions.
FWIW, I just scanned the 9.4 Donation Edition windows setups exe file on a different computer running the free version of Malwarebytes 3.0.0, and it did NOT flag the 9.4 FFS setup file. Seems quite likely the MWB flag with the newest version is a false positive.
