We’d like to inform our users that BitDefender has recently shown a false-positive alert for the latest WinCatalog installer. We’re aware of this issue and have already submitted a false-positive report to BitDefender.
We’re pleased to share that BitDefender has completed their analysis and confirmed that the file is clean. The detection will be removed in one of their upcoming database updates.
In addition, we’ve verified the installer using VirusTotal, which scanned the file with over 70 different antivirus programs. The results confirm the file is safe. You can view the report here:
If you prefer not to wait for BitDefender’s next update, you can update WinCatalog manually. Simply download the “no installer” version, unzip it, and replace the entire WinCatalog folder in your Program Files (x86) directory.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
