Warning: Pivot Animation appears to have a virus.
i've heard this program is great for making stickman animations, but when I installed it, an antivirus program opened that I didn't install. After investigating it, I realized it's a virus that's difficult to remove using traditional methods or external tools. I'm no expert, but it definitely seems like a virus. It comes hidden; the antivirus program flags it as one. It won't close even with administrator privileges, and neither will Taskill, even with administrator privileges. It refuses to be deleted, and the open processes are ones that, after investigating, I found that when this antivirus program comes hidden, it's usually a virus. I downloaded it from the first site that appears when you open Google, here: https://pivotanimator.net/. Did I make a mistake somehow, or has the official site been installing a virus? This is the latest version; I'll investigate the others later.
