Total Commander is a Shareware application. To be able to use this great File Manager you have to buy license. However, we (TC UP team) DO NOT sell any license for software. TC UP is completely free. Created by us for You. One for All.
We are aware of issues with some antyvirus programs. We are working hard to eliminate it. It is not easy, trust me.
We assure you that the installer is safe. But we understand this situation is not comfortable.
Let me explain what is the problem. Microsoft Defender flags our installer as malware (or other mistaken threat) . It is False-Positive. Our installer is 100% clean and safe. Out software is also not signed (but it costs a lot of money and I am not sure it helps).
The problem is, that TC UP installer is a big installer. Very big... It is impossible to report this as false-positive - Microsoft accept only files < 500MB. So, we can not prove we are clear. There is no one we can talk and help us.
So, we probably will change the way we distribute installer or something else. Stay tuned...

One of options is to do as Google chrome installer does. Small exe which downloads components(plugins) as needed (kind of linux repo system). It will allow to exclude problematic packages in easy manner(reopen installer, uncheck package, install). it can also allow to make "one for all" instaler.
Now we hawe:
Download installer -> open it -> chose soft->instal it
change it to:
Download installer -> open it -> chose soft->idownload packages->install them.
