[Gimp-user] Thanks for the Trojan TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen

2014-10-09 Thread Peter M.
Thanks for investing my PC with the Trojan TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen that came with 
todays download of GIMP. 

Looks like I'll be having an annoyingly long night getting rid of that thing 
again.
*argh*

According to web searches, that one is a common false positive for some
virus scanners, Avira seems to be plagued by this in regular intervals,
for example.

Hi Peter,

Sorry to hear about that!

However we do not distribute malware, so there's either a false
positive for GIMP, or you downloaded the installer from somewhere but
gimp.org. Could you please be more specific here?

Guess the only thing to say is you are welcome as you declined to do any
research and undoubtedly downloaded from a non-official site, and did
not ready anything about the download on this/these lists or you would
have known better.

Now you know and should be wiser in the future.

Have a good time with your windows machine.
