WebCatalog Desktop allows users to access thousands of desktop apps for macOS and Windows—many of which are not available elsewhere. To achieve this, we use proprietary mechanisms that enable compatibility with a wide range of apps while serving millions of users.
However, due to the app’s unique structure and complexity, some antivirus programs may not recognize it correctly, leading to false positives where installed apps are mistakenly flagged as viruses.
If this happens, you can:
Ensure you're downloading WebCatalog Desktop from our official website: https://webcatalog.io. Some antivirus software correctly detects imitations or pirated versions that attempt to harm computers by impersonating WebCatalog.
Report false positives to your antivirus provider: This helps them update their detection algorithms and prevent future misidentifications.
Manually mark the files as safe: If you've confirmed that the apps were installed via WebCatalog Desktop, you can whitelist them in your antivirus settings.
If you continue to experience issues, feel free to contact our support team for further assistance.
