OK, issue one, some of the confusion is that v2.0.2 (from 2016?) on page one of this thread is old and scans as a threat, not necessarily a valid threat, possibly bitcoin miner type hits. A version that should NOT be linked in the opening post on the official thread for Mintcoin. Regardless, the 2.0.2 is not the issue at hand.

Next issue, two, the links posted going back the last 5 or so posts for (MintCoin-2.1.0-win32.zip) has a MintCoin-Qt.exe that was updated on github on October 28, 2018 with an incorrect size file of 8,428,482 which is likely a virus. This repository should be taken down immediately (if possible).
Many thanks to desynct for catching this.

Housekeeping note; I'm editing all links I posted recently to the corrupted file and "killing" the link for security purposes, but otherwise leaving it intact to cut down on future confusion.

Thanks for catching this guys!

I'd say stick with the 2.1.0-beta1 release then. I've been running it for months with no issues (not sure what changed between beta1 and non-beta release) and it seems to be clean.
