To start with, I successfully downloaded and installed the miktex distribution on my computer (disabled my anti-virus during the installation, as per numerous advice).
Everything seemed fine, but after re-booting, my anti-virus detected numerous changes in some registry keys, so I decided to do full-system-scan. Upon reaching the miktex folder, my antivir detected a few things of the type heur.explot.pdf.m in a few pdf files. Is this an issue of my antivir being overly sensitive, or has anybody had similar issues and may know anything about this?
