Ahh Hello, a bit of a dramatic first post, I am new to UE4 and have version 4.7.0 of the engine installed no problems. Tonight I downloaded 4.6.1 so that I can try out UT4, the installation failed saying “a file access error occurred. Please check your running processes” and then my anti virus program came up saying C:\Program files\Epic Games\Launcher\PatchStagin\UE_4.6Production-Windows\Install\Engine\Extra\Android adp-2.0r8-windows.exe has been detected as infected. Bitdefender could not clean this item. Your computer is not virus-free. Virus name:gen:Varient.graftor.143365
This is a known issue. There are several Firewall/virus detection programs that give a false positive on the engine. To get it installed it is recommended that you add the engine to your firewalls white list, allowing it access. Either this, or while downloading/using disable the firewall. We are looking at potential solutions but this is the workaround in the meantime.

Potential solutions make the developers of the AV to stop beeing so paranoid. (harhar)
We all know its mostly false posetive anyways
Keep up the great work Epic!
It is not paranoia, just silly mistakes. I will give you an example:
You write heuristic (behavioral) code/rule that detects downloaders. How you “teach” your engine to know it should not alarm on google updater, but label as “Ebil downloader” similar programs that are not from google even if they try to disguise as such.
And that is reason for most false positives, something clean is just very similar to some nasty malware, so they added it not even knowing that it will false positive on TDAP files.

Indeed it was meant as a joke with some truth to it (depending on AV Software).
Avast comes to mind warnings about everything and nothing.
Etherway we are better of with them, then with out them.
