What to do if your antivirus flags the Tradecopia installer

Some antivirus tools flag new desktop apps by default. If yours flags the Tradecopia installer, it's a common false positive you can allow.

Some antivirus tools flag newer or less widely recognised desktop apps by default. If yours flags the Tradecopia installer, this is a common false positive, and it is safe to allow. Here is how to install Tradecopia smoothly.

You might need this article if:

  • Your antivirus flagged or blocked the Tradecopia installer

  • The download was removed or moved after you saved it

  • You want to install Tradecopia without your antivirus interrupting it

Why this happens

Antivirus tools sometimes flag new or less common applications automatically, before an app becomes widely recognised. It does not mean anything is wrong with Tradecopia. It is a routine false positive, and allowing the app is a normal step when installing new software.

How to install it smoothly

You can allow Tradecopia in your antivirus in a few simple steps:

  1. Before downloading, pause your antivirus for a moment.

  2. Download the Tradecopia installer, then add the folder you saved it to as an allowed or trusted location in your antivirus, so it is not scanned.

  3. Run the installer to install Tradecopia.

  4. After installing, add the folder Tradecopia was installed to as an allowed location, and add the Tradecopia application itself as a trusted app.

Turn your antivirus back on once you are done, and Tradecopia will run as normal.
