Re: [wsjt-devel] virus found in wsjtx-2.7.0-rc8-win64.exe

[DG2YCB <DG...@gm...>]

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 this
yourself in such cases. The installers I have created have never contained
any viruses. My computer is strictly monitored in this respect; and
SourceForge also tests every file again.

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe
