I recently installed v4.8 DE ( Full international versions of Pegasus Mail
Completely translated versions, including the setup program from https://www.pmail.com/downloads_s3_t.htm) on a Win 11 host, since then AVIRA thinks winpm-32.exe is dangerous and puts in it to quarantine.

Thus to use PMAIL I have either to deactivate AVIRA Security program or to reinstall PMAIL every time I wish to use it.

Furthermore, I am quite sure I was able to start winpm-32.exe using a link an providing command line parameters (to use german language interface and become a certain user via -U switch immediately on startup). I already tried creating a winpm-32.bat file containing

winpm-32.exe -U <username> -X DE

but failed.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

It's a long time ago since I've been using Avira, but every AV software has an option for whitelisting applications and/or directories to prevent them from being scanned.

And with regard to your commandline parameters I'm pretty sure you would want to rather use winpm-32.exe -I <username> -X DE instead of -U.

In Virustotal there are no finding, even not by avira.

Should be hopefully only a temporary problem until next virus definition update.
You can also add a exceptions for pmail to not have this false postive problem.

ran a scan on jotti.org

Status: Scan finished. 0/14 scanners reported malware.
Scan taken on:

Has 14 scanners it checks, but not that one. All show as clean.

Mine is the latest 4.81pb3 version. So, might want to scan the version person has. Think it is 4.80
