[Fixed] Notepad++ 8.8.2 installer flagged as Malware

The portable installer for Notepad++ 8.8.2 is rejected by Microsoft BitDefender and quite some more others:

NPP portable 8.8.2 installer on VirusTotal

Maybe you can check, what triggered this?

Regards and keep up the nice work!

Unsigned Base EXEs, Fixed in Rev 2

This is due to the base notepad++.exe files from the publisher being unsigned. The 32-bit version has multiple false positives. I've signed them with our digital certificate and released it as Rev 2. The installer and both notepad++.exe files show as fully clean in VirusTotal as of release.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
