Re: [pcgen] Virus warning for autobuilds

The OP never mentioned what virus software he was using. I merely brought up my own personal findings. I've used avira and avast with good results.

False positive or not, this means we'll be getting reports about it.

Cheers,
Andrew

I've never heard of Avira. I'd 99% certain it's a false positive. I recommend contacting the developers and reporting it as such.

Hi James,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcgen/files/PCGen%20Unstable/6.05.04/pcgen-6.05.04-full.zip/download

I opened up the zip, and I can't see anything added or obviously
tampered with.

Might be a false positive, but the history of Sourceforge has people on
edge.

Cheers,
Andrew
