Creative Cloud marked as a trojan when downloaded from official site

New Here ,
Sep 23, 2025 Sep 23, 2025

I'm unsure if this is a false postive but virustotal said 2/72 that there was a trojan warning. I did 3 full scans of my pc with malwarebytes and windows defender and nothing happened is this a false postive? I first installed it from Microsoft store and was worried that was virus, when I installed creative cloud on my pc it opened the microsoft store one and also when I downloaded the file again and scanned it, it said trojan warning, same for each adobe app I installed. And when i was done downloading my monitor went zoom in snd everything was grey. Image is the reconstruction of itIMG_1867.jpeg

Hi @practical_Jubilee0297 . Both the Microsoft Store version and the one from adobe.com/home are safe. They use the same installer - the only difference is when you're asked to sign in. I'll ask the team to look into the false positive for your antivirus software.

@practical_Jubilee0297 you cannot open a psd file using InDesign. Use Adobe Photoshop to open the document.
