Musescore 4.4+ is asking me to install microsoft netcore app 8.0.0 (64)

hi I just opened the Musescore 4 app onb my PC and i get this message:

Now I didn't click on the link but did a search on the download and McAfee reports itas a trojan and Malwarebytes has had a bit of tizzy over the file.

I went direct to the Microsoft website to download via this link:

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-8.0.40…

Anyone know why this has suddenly reared its ugly head?

DO MOT CLICK ON THE LICK IN THE MESSAGE THAT POPS UP.

If you are unsure about the link i have posted then search Microsoft for

.NET 8.0 SDK and there is a version for windows, mac and Linux. Be careful out there!

Regards

David
