Thank you fo
Uwe et.al.,
Thank you for submitting the files to Microsoft. I've not encountered a
false positive like this before, I will know what to do in the future. And
I appreciate your reassurance in the preventative measures in place. I'll
check again in a few days after the virus signature files get upd

I had / have the same problem. By turning off all virus protection I was
finally able to download RC8. But when trying to install, it gives me a error
“Error opening file for writing
Hi Sam and all,
Today I sent all four RC8 Windows 64-bit installation files (WSJT-X and
wsjt-x_improved) to Microsoft for analysis. Last time it took about 3 days
for the files to be confirmed as virus-free and for the virus scanner
signature to be updated. But once again: You can (and should) do

Please, don't turn this into a Linux vs Windows debate, it's off topic. He
needs help with Windows, not Linux.

Earlier this evening I downloaded wsjtx-2.7.0-rc8-win64.exe from SourceForge on
a Win10 system. Chrome said a virus was detected. A Windows Defender scan
showed the file infected with Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml an
two
different browsers with identical results (Chrome and Edge).
Any ideas???

Hello Charlie,
by the way, I rely entirely on the Defender in Windows 10 - and it hasn't
reported anything.
So, it was never an issue for me. I only did the uplaod to virustotal because
of the message
from Sam WB6RJH.
As always, “feared to death is also dead” applies here too. Common sense

Probably your AV tools did not flag a false positive.
If you look at the results from Virus Total, only a few indicate a positive.
And, the ones they find are

also show the occasional false positive.

Adding to Mike's comment, I suggest looking at this article. Note the
recommendation to submit the file (or URL) for further analysis by your AV
provider.
