Kapersky did not like updating Pharo Launcher  ... specifically vms\90-x64\PharoConsole.exe which it quarantined and promptly deleted  (Object name: VHO:Exploit.Win32.Agent.gen)

Any idea what's going on?

Hi,
     this is an announcement of a new release of the Pharo VM. This
new version is available to be downloaded through get-pharo scripts
and through the Pharo Launcher. From the Pharo Launcher, remember to
update the VM from the VM manager window.

This version includes a series of improvements:

- Unification of code base with the headless VM
- Preparation for supporting HDPI displays.
- Improvements in the speed of Threaded FFI (40x times faster in
SameThread runner and 2x in Threaded worker).
- Better handling of semaphores
- Improvements in the loading of large images (better buffering)
- Better support for headless execution on non-main thread

Please let me know if you find any issues.

Cheers, Pablo
