    Hi, I recently installed the latest DDU driver and downloaded it from guru3d and wagnardmobile. When I scanned the folder where I extracted the files using Kaspersky anti virus it doesn't say virus detected. But when I run DDU and run it on safe mode recommended. It will try to create a restore point and after that kaspersky will detect it as a trojan virus. This is my first time experiencing this. Im currently on Win 10 AU and using ShutUp 10. Here's a screenshot.

    The word generic in the virus name, usually means kaspersky is guessing it`s a virus because the program is doing a perpetually dangerous action, but this is most likely a false positive, an new update of ddu could be causing a problem.

    Try uploading the ddu file/exe to virustotal.com and see how many positives your get, if it`s only kaspersky then you could add the ddu file/exe to kasperskys ignore list so it is not blocked again.

    John.
