Hello,

I've downloaded 2.19.52 and just installed it in a Windows 10 virtual
machine to test it, and Avira and AVG (and built-in Microsoft tools) all
detect zero threats. Perhaps Kaspersky is overreacting to something, maybe a
setting you can tweak in its panel? I can't imagine any malware being in
LilyPond.

Are you installing it on the normal C: Program Files or on your D:? I
noticed both drives in your errors messages. Sometimes Windows does not
"like" when you install things in non-C: drive locations but, malware? You
got me...
