What surprises me is that I previously had v2.8.2 and never got a warning or a blocked application by BitDefender.
One can't be too cautious...

I think VirusTotal is throwing a false positive. Malwarebytes Pro has no problem with the portable version nor does HitMan Pro. The developer of Electrum has said previously "Note that Electrum binaries for Windows are not created on Windows, but on a Linux computer running Wine. Thus, this machine cannot be infected with Windows malware."

Hello

I just downloaded the latest Electrum (v2.9.0 Standalone Executable) from https://electrum.org/#download

BitDefender blocked it as soon as I run the program.

I then uploaded the file to https://www.virustotal.com/en/ and here's the result I got:

Should I be worried?
