Hello @mrbubo, welcome to MetaMask community!

This is a workaround for now. It’s a false positive, not a virus, detected by Windows Defender. Until team solves the issue you can do what the article mentions, so you can continue to use MetaMask.

Right now installed it on Firefox. All looking good.  
But i`m always working only with Chrome.  
How long does it usually take for the team to fix the issue? I mean the antivirus triggering on the version for Chrome).

Thanks!
