I tried to update my vlc program from 2.2.4 to 2.2.6, but malwarebytes tells me " exploit payload file blocked".
Can you tell me where the problem comes from?
Thanks!
Vlc 2.2.6

Same here from the auto download. But not from the website.

Re: Vlc 2.2.6
I reinstated 2.2.4 and activated the internal downloader. Once downloaded, it asked me if I wanted to close VLC and install, and I clicked no. It is not clear whether VLC itself verifies the hashes and digital signatures prior to proceeding to upgrade.
Found vlc-2.2.6-win64.exe in my temp folder. The file is digitally signed, and checked out ok
The MD5 and SH1 hashes match what is in the http://download.videolan.org/pub/videol ... 2.6/win64/ for the .exe file.
No alert came from Windows Defender.
Reinstated VLC 2.2.6 which was already installed.
The one I checked out was the 64 bit one.

Re: Vlc 2.2.6
By the way, there are no release notes for v2.2.6 (yet).
There is nothing about it in https://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc-branch/NEWS either.

Re: Vlc 2.2.6
Came to say the same as xercer8 regarding the missing release notes for v2.2.6
Also, vlc-2.2.6-win64.7z does not contain the NSIS source files.
Because of this I have to use previous version. (need Custom file associations)
Meanwhile newer versions of vlc-2.2.6 are available as dailies.
Is 2.2.6 finished or half-baked?

Re: Vlc 2.2.6
I came across the same issue. I don't know what caused that.
