Hi there,

Currently, our program files are detected as PUP (potentially unwanted programs) by Malwarebytes. However, PUP is a very controversial topic since it also makes legit programs as PUP. Please read the articles below including Enigma Software's lawsuit against Malwarebytes for the later’s anticompetitive practices and Enigma won this lawsuit. Actually, we are basically in the same situation as Enigma.

We contacted MBAM to resolve this issue several months ago but the flag is still there. So it would be better if you can also help us by asking Malwarebytes to remove this detection.

In order to continue using our programs, please add our program to the exclusions list of Malwarebytes. You can refer to the "Add an exclusion" part on this page
