Question 
When trying to use the automatic updater for the dev version of Dolphin from 5.0-17625 to 5.0-17887, BitDefender flags DSPTool as "Gen:Variant.Lazy.231870".

I can't seem to whitelist this because I have no idea where Dolphin temporarily stores files for updating the emulator. If I knew where this was, I could get BitDefender to ignore it without having to temporarily pause it so that this update can go through.
If I can get an answer to this, that'd be very helpful.

Sadly it is not unusual at this point for our updater (and some files being updated, like I'm assuming happened with DSPTool) to be flagged as a trojan. https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2019/11/07/...a-cloud-ai

I don't know where that is exactly (I'd have to go code diving but I don't want to atm), but Dolphin keeps its files in the Global User Directory which on Windows is defaulted to [username]\Documents\Dolphin Emulator. That would be where you should start.

Alright, I'll get BitDefender to add that folder as an exception and see if that'll work for future updates.

EDIT: Turns out it didn't work, but I was able to use a tool called "Process Monitor" to see where the updater was writing the files to, and my suspicion was correct. It was writing to the Temporary Local User directory, so I simply set BitDefender to ignore it (even though it's not really a great idea, but it'll stop it from complaining), and I solved the issue that way. Such an odd occurrence that this is only happening now when it never used to before.
