What issue do you have?

Hello,
I just downloaded the setup file for version 3.7.16. My regular virus scan (Avira, just updated) reported that "TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen2" was found within that file. According to the avira website, that this indicates a trojan horse.
The previous version 3.6.16 did not return any negative feedback when scanned with the same scanner (also repeated today with the updated version).

Bitdefender didn't seem to return anything, neither did virustotal, and my understanding with that particular result is that it just means "this looks strange and I can't see inside."
It might be Joplin is using some sort of obfuscation within their installer.
Would be great if a dev could respond, though.
