I’ve seen false positives just by downloading new signature files, but not 
specifically for Livecode, but I seem to recall someone on this list having an 
issue.

Hi, I'm back for more fish - and a malware query

OK, Bob S, so I have jumped through the small hoop and turned through 180 
degrees. And I’m impressed even if you were not: that is to say, I am really 
impressed with the generosity and goodwill of the great people at LC.

Many thanks to those who urged me contact Heather and Kevin about  licensing, 
and I heartily echo the sentiment of Erik on the integrity of the company.

And now back to business: the very first compilation of a Windows standalone 
with my brand spanking new 9.6.4 provokes a malware alarm for the Trojan 
Sabsik.TE.A!ml on a Windows 10 machine.

I think it almost certain this is a false positive. My Mac reportedly cannot 
run or spread this particular malware, and I’m pretty sure the only Windows 
file on my Mac which could contain it (or rather the code sequence which 
triggers the alert) would be the Windows engine in LC9.6.4. Just to be sure, 
because no-one want to take chances with ransomware … has anyone seen or heard 
reports like this ?
