    Comodo Sercurity (www.comodo.com/) detects malware when installing bitcoin core from: https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.16.0/bitcoin-0.16.0-win64-setup.exe

    https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.16.0/bitcoin-0.16.0-win32-setup.exe looks ok.

    Screen: https://files.fm/thumb_show.php?i=jrn75uzu&view Pls copy link dunno why it dosn't link properly,

    PS. I also scaned it with malwarebytes.com software and nothing was detected.

    This is a false positive from your antivirus software, we see this issue semi regularly on Windows, ie #4069, #11852, #12320.
