Notepad++ Portable gave me some spyware

As you read from the title, Notepad++ Portable gave me some spyware. I've tested this out with a few anti virus software and they all give me the same results, and I have downloaded it several times. I don't think that it really is but here's the details I get:

nsB4.tmp has been blocked from creating a new process.

So if you could tell me what is up it would be awesome.

NSIS - false positive

nsB4.tmp (and other ns*.tmp type files) are NSIS temp files used with the NSIS installers and launchers. Don't worry, these are false positives. If you want more convincing, read https://portableapps.com/support#false_positive

I hope that this satisfies you. But whether it does or doesn't, welcome to PortableApps.com Wink Better safe than sorry Smile

Thanks Chris, I use NSIS for my own products, and I have noticed it before. Thank you for answering so fast, and have a nice day!
