During the beta I had a person write to me personally saying Avira reported that ooRexxProcess.dll was a trojan. So, I scanned the Windows build downloaded from SourceForge with Norton Anti-Virus, McAffee Anti-Virus, and the anti-virus program at work. They all reported no errors. Then I unpacked the installation program and scanned ooRexxProcess.dll with the 3 anti-virus programs. Again they reported all was good. I had always assumed that SourceForge scanned the uploaded files, but I contacted the SourceForge support to verify that. They told me that they did indeed virus scan uploaded project files. I then upgraded my McAffee anti-virus program to their latest edition, one that scans programs as they are being installed. It also reported that everything was good. My conclusion is that it was a false positive. I should have posted here about it, but I was suspsious of the e-mail because the person included several links in the e-mail that he wanted me to 'click.' Since he was a complete stranger to me, I thought it was some type of phishing. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: WikiLeaks The End of the Free Internet http://p.sf.net/sfu/therealnews-com _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
