Default Re: Downloading Problem

Hi friends,

I just wanted to share in this thread as well about a testing service for checking to see whether executable files (such as our downloadable installation files) have a virus or not.

http://www.virustotal.com offers a free service to check whether an EXE has a virus, testing against a couple dozen anti-virus apps.

Since different antivirus applications have different ways of checking, if you have only one that says "virus!", it probably is not really a virus, but a false positive.

ttfn,
Sherry
