Issue with latest skipper version installer for Windows 3.0.1

asked Sep 18, 2014 in Solved by nick.marshall (250 points)

I use Norton Internet Security on my computer for virus protection, and it believes the windows installer for the latest version (skipper-3.0.1.1129-windows-all-32bit.exe) contains a high risk virus called "Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP" and immediately deletes the file from my computer when I download it. I've never had any issues like this in the past and have been using Norton the entire time I've been using ORMDesigner/Skipper. I was curious if you knew about this or could provide any insight or assistance here.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

I did a quick tests on several antiviruses and it seems to false alarm:

http://r.virscan.org/report/3e9a24881327b10459ca5f8c064a0c32

only one found something called "PUA.Win32.Packer.SetupExeSection", but I'm not sure what exactly this means. We will investigate it more deeply and let you know.

Regards
Ludek
