Hi
If someone were to run across Chirp on a site other than Chirp's site I could believe someone could put some things in the download/install that were and are not in the official site. Anymore if I am downloading some "free" software or even updates to some other software I always look for the fine print of loading some toolbars for something I don't want. I also go though out Window's PC's and remove unwanted software on about a monthly basis.

I've downloaded and installed chirp for over 6 months on my windows machine, each time there is a new daily build version and my malware and also virus scan has never had a problem with chirp. My downloads and installs get checked at each install, regardless of daily build or stable build.

Hi all, I've been using Chirp successfully for a while with my various radios. Recently there was a discussion on the VX-7 list about ADMS-1G programming software, and I suggested that the person try Chirp, since it worked well in my experience, and is free. One person on the list replied as follows, suggesting that there is malware in the Chirp download. Since I don't have a Windows machine, there's no way I could verify that. Is there any possibility that the Chirp download got hijacked? Or is this guy just spreading FUD to get people to buy other software? Thanks & 73, -Eben / K6EBN1b.

I just got a bunch of crapware forced in from the CHIRP download.: "7-zip", "VAFMusic", "DealPly", and "MyPcBackup". Some of it resists uninstall. One leads to what looks like a hostageware site!! Some sort of unwanted IE toolbar came in as well.. DANGER!!
