Description Jim 2013-01-02 14:14:55 UTC
I downloaded both binaries, 3.14 & 3.8 from this page: http://glade.gnome.org/sources.html

When I did a clamwin scan of the files, it alerted me to the presence of Adware virus in both files.

I thought you might like to know that.

(I got a working, clean? version from Sourceforge.)

those binaries were build under Debian with a cross compiler, even the installer so I doubt it has a virus.

Anyways do you have more information about it? which file? which virus?
Comment 2 Jim 2013-01-02 15:41:45 UTC
Juan Pablo,

Thanks.

The versions are those mentioned above, 3.14 & 3.8, at the link provided above.

(The version, Glade3-3.6.1.exe, on sourceforge scanned fine -- no "virus.")

Filenames: glade-3-14-2-installer.exe, glade-3-8-3-installer.exe

Clamwin indicated the virus name was Adware. Here's exactly what clamwin said after I scanned the binaries:

I think I'd like to see a confirmation by a different Antivirus software first. I've seen enough wrong "virus in download" reports about GIMP installers for Windows thanks to badly written antivirus software...
