Hello @pippo73, Thanks for reporting this. That seems like a false positive from Avast. I've reported the issue to Avast as a false positive, and we should have feedback in the coming days. It would be very helpful if you could also submit the file for analysis on your end.

Hello @mgarces , in order to avoid any problem I've disinstalled it, and changed to bitdefender which it seems to do not notice this kind of problem. If needed I can create VM just tu test it

I just installed NetBird this morning and this afternoon received the same warning from Avast. Unfortunately, the folder is no longer present and there is nothing in the Avast quarantine folder.

ThreatLocker is also flagging this. I just got an alert a couple hours ago about this. ThreatLocker stopped the task whatever the task is, does this powershell script need to be ran in order for netbird to work?
