The problem is being discussed and solutions are being elaborated. In the meantime, if you get a warning from your antivirus, make sure the software you downloaded is legitimate (see the guides linked below), then add an exception for it in your antivirus, so that it won't get removed or blocked. If you need assistance, feel free to contact the community.

Why is Monero called 'Monero'?
faq->amoneromeaning
Monero is an Esperanto word which means 'coin'. Initially Monero was called 'Bitmonero', which translates to 'Bitcoin' in Esperanto. After the community decided to fork from the original maintainer, 'bit' was dropped in favour of simply 'Monero'.
faq->qimporting
Can I manually import the blockchain?
faq->aimporting
Yes, you can, but you probably shouldn't. Importing an external @blockchain is very resource intensive and forces you to trust the entity providing you with the blockchain. It's usually faster to download it the normal way: running a node and letting it synchronize with the other @nodes in the network. If you really need to import an external blockchain, you can download one in the 'Downloads' page of this website. Follow the guide below if you are using Windows. If you are a linux user, you can use the tool "monero-blockchain-import", which is included in the archive when you download the GUI or CLI wallets. Start syncing the imported blockchain with this command: "monero-blockchain-import --input-file blockchain.raw".
faq->qhf
Is it true that Monero has a hard fork every 6 months?
faq->ahf
Monero used to have 2 network upgrades (hard forks) a year, but this is not the case anymore. The choice of the biannual hard forks was taken in order to be able to introduce important consensus changes, which added privacy features and network-wide improvements (For example @bulletproofs and CLSAG both required a hard fork) and avoid the ossification of the protocol. Recently, the biannual hard forks included changes to the PoW algorithm, to preserve ASIC-resistance.
faq->ahf1
The dev community and the Core Team agree that the protocol is stable and mature enough and biannual hard forks are not necessary anymore. Furthermore, the ecosystem around Monero has grown exponentially during the years and frequent protocol changes would be increasingly hard to coordinate, could be detrimental to the growth of the ecosystem and to the user experience. Cherry on the top, the new algorithm @RandomX is ensuring long term ASIC-resistance, so regular changes are not needed anymore. Network upgrades will still be used to add important protocol improvements and consensus changes, but at a lower and less strict frequency (every 9-12 months). The last hard fork was on August 13th 2022.
faq->qvideos
Are there videos I can watch to learn about Monero?
faq->avideos
During the years the community has created a vast amount of informative content like articles and videos. Most of these videos are publicly available on platforms like YouTube. On this website we host a few videos that explain the fundamentals of Monero. To optimize their effectiveness, they should be viewed in sequence:

Did the quotes because of this https://www.rae.es/espanol-al-dia/los-extranjerismos-y-latinismos-crudos-no-adaptados-deben-escribirse-en-cursiva

"Por su parte, las locuciones o dichos en otras lenguas que se utilicen en textos españoles deben escribirse igualmente en cursiva —o, en su defecto, entre comillas— para señalar su carácter foráneo"

Translation comment

You're assuming that the word is inside the phrase as what the link is showing up. If the word "hard fork" would be inside the sentence I would agree to put it on double quotes or like they suggest italic, but the word is not being used as part of the sentence. e.g. ¿Es cierto que Monero tiene un "hard fork" cada 6 meses? Double quotes would be the case, but here you are translating "hard fork" and leaving the reference of what "bifurcación dura (hard fork)" means. I wouldn't translate hard fork but if you want to it's okay.
