    I've been using Clover (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/clover.html) for many years, without any issues, as far as I can tell. Functionally, I think this is one of the best, if not the best, file explorer app out there. But what's always bothered me is how Windows Defender flags Clover.exe as malware (Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.FL.B!ml) and gives it a "Severe" rating! It's been flagging for many years... and (for reasons unknown) Windows will "forget" from time to time that I've approved this app, and would flag it again, automatically quarantining the file!

    Uploading Clover.exe to VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/32b0e317d040a15d86538c682ac0a18ef636a1653c72d15f7a2bd10b764ce291) gives no clear cut answer: some big name antimalware like AVG, Avast, even Malwarebytes agree with Microsoft. And yet, other big names like Bitdefender, Emisoft, FSecure and FireEye are fine with the file. Clover has been around for many years, so this isn't anything 'zero day'. Curious, do you guys use Clover?
