So i wanted to download Blender on my new laptop, i did too. Then at the bottom left there was an indication that the file could not be downloaded. I then clicked on show more and it said downloaded virus in small and red. I deleted this file immediately and unfortunately I don't know if I have an anti virus program. I need help

Just use Windows Defender

WHERE EXACTLY did you download Blender?

If it was here…

https://www.blender.org/.../download/

is that virus-free.

If you have Windows 10 you have the defender which is as good as any other virus scanner.

Would recommend you to open Windows Security and scan it.

Malwarebytes or another anti-virus program can do this well.

Yes exactly on the website I downloaded it

Okay thank you

Bl

Okay, thanks without you guys, I really wouldn't know what to do next

Then I suspect that the message about a virus was either misunderstood by you or a false positive from your virus scanner.

Bl

Thank you

Bl

Okay, thank you, I was scared

Ga

Do you still have the virus?
