SABnzbd and Antivirus Conflicts

When SABnzbd is updated, antivirus tools may briefly classify it as unsafe.

Main Reasons

This usually happens due to:

• Executable compression and new version reputation

• Web interface and active network use

• Background utilities and scheduled jobs

Resolution Steps

1. Update your antivirus definitions.

2. Release SABnzbd from quarantine.

3. Reinstall if necessary.

You can upload the installer to VirusTotal.com for independent analysis.

False alerts typically disappear after a few weeks.
