Florian,

Firstly, thanks for the update and all the good work.

My virusscanner moans and groans about the installer of version 2.72:

> Application blocked
> 
> Deepguard has been monitoring an application that has now tried to do something possibly harmful:
> 
> Application: mp3tagv272setup.exe  
> Reason: Tried to change another application  
> Location: d:........\mp3tagv272setup.exe  
> Reputation: unknown  
> Popularity: Common  
> Operation: Tried to manipulate a process  
> Target: c:......\f-secure\apps\computersecurity\common\fsm32.exe

  
And then it gives me the option to either trust the application or not.

Is this a known problem, or is it just my configuration?

Regards, WiSiSo

If you got your \*.exe from this official site (SHA256: cea9ffc3d9091f392e7cd08a86ae295b13df4e590d085a605c7d93329cf2e6fd), it is a false positive.

You can check such files yourself:  
Just upload it to [virustotal.com](http://virustotal.com) and let it check for you.

Actual result:

Well, yes. I downloaded it from here. The sha256 matches perfectly, so as I already suspected, it's a false positive. Just thought I should mention it here anyway...

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards, WiSiSo.
