    Hey again Dave,

    You will be fed up of me soon posting new topics, sorry for another one.

    I have just updated to the latest release, it installed fine but then when setup was clearing up, i got alerted by windows that its infected.

    Here is a screenshot

    Obviously i've let windows stop it from loading for now.

    Thanks
    Martin

    Hi again Martin,

    This crops up every few months.
    Since Grub2Win makes low level system calls, it is sometimes flagged as a virus.
    Particularly by Microsoft, not so much by the other antivirus vendors.

    You can examine the source code to assure yourself that there is no virus, and even compile the .exe yourself.

    I SSL sign the executables before uploading them to SourceForge, so they cannot be altered.
    You can check the SSL signatures.

    Meanwhile, I will once again submit the code sample to Microsoft so their scans will not flag it for a few months.

    Thanks for the info.

    Dave
