Why is AME Wizard being detected as a virus?

AME Wizard can be falsely flagged as a virus when a new version is published. To avoid it being detected, add it to your Windows Defender exclusions list.

Windows Security may automatically flag AME Wizard as malicious when trying to run it, or may even delete it before running it.

To avoid these problems you can temporarily disable Real Time Protection or follow AME's Security Exceptions Documentation (recommended).
