I honestly do not know. I am a little out of touch with day-to-day MS Windows (I use linux). It could be that your Trend AV has an issue with the recent Gimp release, which is Gimp 2.8.20 (2.8.16 is out-odf-date). It has happended before typically with Kaspersky AV.
It should be possible to 'whitelist' an application or an installer but a quick search and details are a little sketchy for Trend.
Maybe a starting point is see what is 'blacklisted' https://esupport.trendmicro.com/en-us/ho...59964.aspx.
Otherwise, try and see. Gimp is a very self contained application, thousands of files but very little in the Windows registry, mainly file associations and uninstall data.
Easy to remove and replace.
Hopefully a Windows user will be along with better advice.
