I had / have the same problem.  By turning off all virus protection I was 
finally able to download RC8.  But when trying to install, it gives me a error 
“Error opening file for writing:  C:\WSJT\wsjts\bin\Qt5Core.dll”
 
I checked and the file is there and not read-only.  I tried this twice with two 
different browsers with identical results (Chrome and Edge).
 
Any ideas???

Adding to Mike's comment, I suggest looking at this article.  Note the 
recommendation to submit the file (or URL) for further analysis by your AV 
provider.

Earlier this evening I downloaded wsjtx-2.7.0-rc8-win64.exe from SourceForge on 
a Win10 system. Chrome said a virus was detected. A Windows Defender scan 
showed the file infected with Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml and said "This program 
is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker."
