i use another virus protection that before didnt flag it but now is so that doesnt help my question when posting the bug report

im not gonna download something flagging a trojan

lost 1 PC that way not doing that again

commented

if thats the case, why do you download a old version of the addon and where do you download it from? 4.0.3 is the newest version.

commented

because the curseforge auto updater is trying to Download 4.0.2bbc

commented

and for Burning Crusade Classic is 4.0.2 retail is 4.0.3 or am i mistaken when they but 4.0.2bbc and then 4.0.3
