Windows gives many security warnings after downloading latest version PhoenixMiner_6.2c_Windows from first side in this thread.
is this normal behaviour?
Hello. I'm having a problem. I downloaded Phoenix 6.2c for Windows as i always do from the link in the first page of this thread, and the trojan AndroidOs/multiverze infected my computer. I think it is some kind of ransomware. After i rebooted My PC i couldnt even log in.
Well you didnt get it from the official site (the virus). The files are clean … you can check them.
You can read here but most likely you opened an infected email as it is how it spreads most commonly.
Here is info on it and how to get rid of it.

I downloaded the miner for Windows from the link in the OP, as you yourself suggested. I see the same "Tool:AndroidOS/Multiverze" warning in Windows Defender as multiple people mentioned in this thread. It is clearly coming from PhoenixMiner.exe.
Good security means questioning what you see. A good download one day can be switched out for malware the next. You shouldn't be so condescending to people trying to practice good security.
Sure it may be a known false positive warning, but it wasn't listed in the OP and it obviously wasn't known to you.
