Hi,
My AV (Bitdefender) block the Photoshop update process after detecting a malicious file inside the installation package.

"The file C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp\ETRD98F.tmp\AdobePhotoshop23-Core_x64.zip.aamdownload is infected with Trojan.GenericKD.62946170. The threat has been successfully blocked, your device is safe."

Thats a Windows thing rather than Photoshop, but easily fixed

Thank you.
I am not searching for how to unblock it; it is not a window thing.
The file installer of Photoshop was classified as a trojan by the AV.
They need to check it and contact the AV vendor to allowlist it if it's a false positive.
