Virus Scanners

Virus programs may classify Pathfinder as a threat. This is sometimes due to common software behavior, e.g. collecting and sending bug reports in the event of a software error. Some virus programs generally classify this as malicious activity.

Please upload Pathfinder.exe to virustotal.com and make sure convince yourself that Pathfinder.exe does not contain any viruses. It is then advisable to set up an exception rule for Pathfinder in the virus scanner.
