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.
