Charlie, each virus checked has named the same detection differently. There is no “standard” on the virus names. Only the main functionality can be the same such as Troyan.

If you look at the results from Virus Total, only a few indicate a positive. And, the ones they find are not the same! Other programs I use also show the occasional false positive. 73 Charlie DL3WDG On Tue, 14 Jan 2025 at 08:43, Wolfgang via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > wrote: Yes, unfortunately... all of the RC8 files, std. or 'improved' giving Virus entries, checked at https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload Btw., my Firefox during download and Windows 10 Defender during installation and operation did not give any alarm... strange (?) 73 de Wolfgang OE1MWW Tuesday, January 14, 2025, 5:40:18 AM, you wrote: Earlier this evening I downloaded wsjtx-2.7.0-rc8-win64.exe from SourceForge on a Win10 system.
