  Hello,

  some antivirus programs are detecting Youtube-dl, which we use in Audials 2022 as a virus:
  https://audials.com/en/help/recordingoptions/youtubedl
  
  On this page https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/bbd6ba4f1383983edbf5df7edd1a8288124ae2fb3e773e16955d2bfc7925c646 
  
  it is visible that the Youtube-dl.exe, which we use, is really considered as a Trojan by WebRoot and McAfee. However, 65 other antiviruses say everything is okay.
  
  For Windows Defender it can help to just check/enable antivirus databases update.
  
  For WebRoot / McAfee -  please allow youtube-dl.exe  in the WebRoot / McAfee settings and /or add it to anti-virus “white-list”.

  Had this issue with certain IK multimedia today. Based on the number of individuals reporting problems with various unrelated things (krunker), it seems to be a big false positive.
