[deep sigh] As long as you're downloading from altusmetrum.org, any virus or trojan warnings you get, particularly on windows, are false positives. We build everything from source using only open source tools on a well maintained Linux system, and distribute the bits from a well maintained Linux server we own .. so there's really no chance for infection. We're highly confident that there's nothing vile in our code, and there's no way for us to know what about our builds are causing them to appear to be too much like a virus in the minds of the various anti-virus tools. One of our customers with a Microsoft support contract was apparently able to convince them to fix the signature files for Defender. If you are using some other anti-virus tool, the first thing to do is report this false positive to your vendor. If they hear about it often enough, maybe they'll fix it for you. In the meantime, the only answer we know of is to turn off your anti-virus tools long enough to download and install our software. Bdale
