What if the individual's installer exe is infected (post downoad)? Again might be worth checking the checksum on the download. The installer bootstrap for Windows is one of the few places in the package something malicious might hide. On Oct 13, 2015 4:29 PM, "Ronald Thornton" thornton@aerostation.org wrote:
On my Win7, I just forced McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0 to update. I then forced the scan of chirp-daily-20151013-installer.exe and the resulting program directory tree after installation. It didn't report any virus.
False positive from Panda?

Tom,
Thanks for prompt response.
You may be right, but the source code argument is not very convincing.
The fact that there is nothing in the source code does not mean that the compiled package could not pick up a piggyback virus. Or that it was, actually introduced by the infected compiler.
The older version that I used (couple of weeks ago, I can check) had no
problem, though.
Please, advise,
Thanks again for the prompt response.
Alex.

The Chirp source code is available to read. There's quite obviously (at least as a developer) not a virus in there.
Your anti-virus software is wrong. I suggest disabling it.
