Carrara is so old Malwarebytes thinks it's a virus

this is so sad

Since it blocks the small link files, maybe it is an actual infection?

Turns out it is a new trend now in 2022, to spread malware via lnk files: https://www.mcafee.com/blogs/other-blogs/mcafee-labs/rise-of-lnk-shortcut-files-malware/

I use Malwarebytes but it doesn't flag Carrara.

I am wondering it if another factor was involved like where the textures were being read from, I do have an external MWB likes to scan overly often when it's in use that I unplugged because it's very noisy when being scanned and it does it nearly every hour.

Its the one all my videos files are on.

Carrara wasn't using it though, it would be using my DAZ content drive external.

I dunno.  Reminds me of an old quote: "My software never has bugs. It just develops random features."

It still can be an infection, that spreads to your most used apps. Try these free second opinion scanners: https://www.hitmanpro.com/en-us https://free.drweb.com/ Just run them, no need to install or uninstall anything.
