  • False positive.

    Did we ever get MD5 hashes up on the downloads? Check and verify those. If they match, it's a false positive. It probably is anyway.
  • whats md5?
  • MD5 is a hashing algorithm you should be familiar with before accusing a download of containing viruses.

  • If you download via the torrent you're pretty much guaranteed an error free copy...

    If it still says there's an embedded virus, it's likely a false positive.
  • That's a heuristic false positive. There are no viruses in the download.

    Random side note, if you find yourself getting a lot of false positives (viruses on legitimate files), you may want to reconsider your choice of anti-virus.

    Personally, i use Eset's NOD32, which is one of the leaders in the field. They've got a tiny footprint (amount of resources taken), its damn near invisible unless a malicious file is detected, and the scans are extremely fast in comparison to many AV products out there.

    Plus, it's not horrific like Symantec's offerings.
  • yeah ok i got past that little bump i got the copy now thanks for the enlightment
