Those who have read past the "Malware" warning can be assured there is absolutely no malware in this OS or in the download. This warning comes from the "netcat" binary included in the download as a DOS time client. Unfortunately netcat has code that is flagged as malware.

  • The rate for a router is very good
  • What a powerful system and it was easy to setup and run on an old computer that was just laying around.
  • AVGAntivirus alert is false positive because of the nc (netcat) utility that is part of FREESCO.
