AVG (antivirus) gives false positive for win32 download

(1/3) > >>

Teal:
-[EDIT]- have determined that it is infact a false positive AVG is giving, no danger but you will have to dissable AVG before doing anything with the installer -[EDIT]-

Hi,
Just downloaded the windows exe for the game (ufoai-2.0-RC4-win32.exe) from the kent.dl.sourceforge.net server, when the download finished this pops up:

I don't know about other servers (i'm downloading from ovh.dl.sourceforge.net  - France at the moment to test)

just a heads up for the devs (or whoever is in control of these things)

[edit]nope france server version is the same, I guess it's across all the servers[/edit]

Bandobras:
Have you checked the md5 signature? If the signature matches there is no need to spread panic. OTOH you could contact the scaner's authors and ask them to remove the false positive.

Teal:
Having problems checking the md5 of it, if no-one else is having the problem then Ignore me, delete the topic and I'll contact the vendor

On Linux, you can use the standard-utility md5sum.

On Windows, there are plenty programs for calculating checksums, e.g.
