Why Kaspersky detect Trojan in cursor.exe

Thanks for reporting this. This could be a false positive issue with antivirus software.
Please try these steps:

  1. Add Cursor to Kaspersky exclusions:
  • Add: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor
  1. Use the system installer instead:

The system installer usually resolves this completely. Let me know if you still have issues after switching to it!
