Hello,

I downloaded https://www.luminescence-software.org/download/metatogger/Metatogger-Installer.exe and when I tried to run it - my ESET NOD32 blocked the run, twice, each time with different warnings.

See attached and also the following links.

Hello,

Since Metatogger is no longer electronically signed, some antivirus programs (often the least powerful) consider it suspicious and block it.

These are false alerts that users can safely ignore.

I'm surprised that Eset NOD32 blocks Metatogger, as this antivirus does indeed consider Metatogger healthy on VirusTotal.

Unfortunately, I can't contact these antivirus publishers every time I release an update to inform them of the false positive.
