Unable to install lmtx

Hi!
I can't anymore install ConTeXt lmtx and wanted to use PPCHTeX and I always got an error message.
So I wanted to run mtxrun --generate, but the access was denied.
I then wanted to run the last install.bat (I am on Windows 10) but I always get a message from my antivirus (Panda Dome) which says that context.exe and mtxrun.ex have a virus and neutralise them (that means erase them from the bin folder). I get the same if I erase everything and install from fresh!
So when I run TeXworks for compiling I get a message saying that ConTeXt is not well installed.
I am stuck!
Should I use ConTeXt standalone in the mean time? you could try standalone, then unzip the regular context archive over it, and put the bins from the installer in the bin path
or just disable the virus scanner when installing (the bin is generated on windows so that implies that the mingw cross compiler on linux is adding a virus or that the native compiler does so) (maybe we should also add a native variant as alternative) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Besides that, most antivirus solutions for Windows since 7 aren’t better than the builtins and often even open additional security holes.
which is true for any operating system (also phones etc) and popular ones get more attention of intruders anyway, here i have never used anything else than the built in security essentials (that scan incoming stuff) and those don't complain about the binaries so i guess it was a false positive Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
