[Solved] Sourceforge issue.

Post by Papasot »

Not sure if any of the developers saw this yet (I guess they did, but you never know).
Sourceforge's Salix webpage marks download with a red label saying "Warning: Malware detected. Download at your own risk". I am guessing it's just a false positive by their antivirus software, but anyway the sooner that warning goes away, the better.

A pleasant detail in this forum: several people pick a picture of their pet as their avatar. Who am I to do otherwise? ;-)

Stupid sourceforge automated false positives. I guess they're trying to do the right thing after having screwed up with shipping malware with windows installers of several apps. I have reported the issue, I'm guessing they will remove the warnings soon.
