GWT 1.5 Available with Detected Malware

Friday, August 29th, 2008

GWT 1.5 final has just become available for download. In what must be a false positive, Avira AntiVir (one of the best antivirus programs for Windows) complains about HEUR/HTML.Malware during the scanning of gwt-windows-1.5.2.zip. Hopefully, the GWT team will take care of the problem quickly.

16 Files were classified as suspicious:

1 Warnings

My policy is to scan every download from every site, including the well-known sites. This is the first time an open source download resulted in a warning. Does your virus scanner detect anything in the GWT Windows 1.5.2 download?
