Minim Watch blocked in Windows 10
hi,

Running MinimWatch 2.1.2 update 99.

Trying to install 2.2 but Windows 10 blocks the EXE from installing because the file contains a virus or unwanted software.

The file is then deleted.

bypassing real time detection works however, the install fails.

error on install is to do with a file being in use.
See screenshot

Is minimwatch 2.1 running? Maybe you can stop it first before installing 2.2?

RE: Minim Watch blocked in Windows 10
How are you checking this? In Task Manager, MinimWatch shows up in the Details tab as javaw.exe. It should also appear as an icon in the system tray but this icon might be showing in the icon overflow area (click the upward-pointing arrow to see this).

The simplest and most reliable way to stop MinimWatch is to right-click javaw.exe in Task Manager and select End task.

multiple instances of Java were running.
Closed them all.
Install worked
