SUMMARY
I've been installing the latest couple of Kdenlive builds from here:
https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/multimedia/kdenlive/release-24.05/windows/
Each time I run Kdenlive I get the attached popup in my antivirus software
(Avast) on the first launch. I see there is a kioworker.exe file in the
kdenlive folder so does this mean I need to add kioworker.exe to my antivirus
exception list? I also had similar popups for melt.exe while running Kdenlive
which I assume is OK to allow as it seems to be part of the ffmpeg library.
I just wasn't sure what kioworker.exe is and wanted to make sure it's a
legitimate program.
Thanks!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kdenlive and run for first time
2. Receive attached popup in my antivirus software (Avast)
3. Program appears to run OK but obviously kioworker.exe is being blocked -
should I allow it?
OBSERVED RESULT
Pop up appears
