This didn't happen when I ran the 4.2 install app a day or two ago, but does on rerun today, so it's something being picked up by the most recent virus definitions.

I've reinstalled Alpha 1.

FYI, this morning Microsoft Defender quarantined RC3 release of sabnzbd.exe, and 10 other vendors on Virus Total are flagging it as trojan/malware.

As usual, these 'security vendors' excel at producing false positives with 15/66 at virustotal claiming the latest rc is a trojan. Some will go as far as deleting the file even though it was explicitly whitelisted, see https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/discussions/2757 (after taking a week to flag it in the first place, that is).
