Google & McAfee Says Current ASTAP Build Is Infected

[Jim Waters]

As the title says. There's a dll file that's marked as infected. Something about a cloud service. I don't recall the details.

zenlayer.dl.sourceforge.net

Hi Jim.,

Is "zenlayer.dl.sourceforge.net"a file? It is not included in my package.

I have check a downloaded program on my laptop here. Win10 does say anything. Sourceforge does als a check. If I use an online virus scanner I get 71 green and only one red:

So I can't explain your observation. What happens if you upload the infected file to an online virus scanner?

I am not sure why Google is marking the file as suspicious and McAfee is saying its infected and displaying zenlayer.dl.sourceforge.net. I checked the download with other virus scanners and everything looks OK.

But is zenlayer.dl.sourceforge.net a file? That file is alien. It is not included in the program.

I have no idea what that is. This is what McAfee flagged. This is however a URL address. Lets assume its Google and McAfee be over cautious for now. Recently both of these have had major concerns about downloading drivers from QHY and ZWO.
