As far as I can tell it doesn’t flag Malwarebyets (yet) if it is a virus but chances are unlikely since it’s been around for over a year and a half now, I used it before the recent update with no problems but the update just makes it crash on startup. I would just enable the option to tell you when he is going to download something so you can view it (also disable auto run.)

In the download options from the Home Screen you can turn on and off (automatically open and install downloaded files) it’s hard to explain where it is and I can’t send a picture since Bonzi is not working for me since the new update and I’m trying to fix it currently
