generalization, so please ignore these nasty warnings! Last but not least: Always keep in mind that LameXP is<br> generalization, because "EXE packers" are commonly used by legitimate software (inlcuding a large number of<br>
OpenSource software. If you don't trust the provided pre-compiled binaries, simply download the <a href="#982cf1c0">source codes</a>,<br> OpenSource tools), so please ignore these nasty warnings! Last but not least: Always keep in mind that LameXP<br>

<br>
Another important fact to consider is that for the creator of LameXP, it is impossible to know WHY a specific<br>
anti-virus program is failing on our software. That's because anti-virus programs usually are proprietary<br>
CloseSource applications, so we cannot know what is going on "behind the scenes". Consequently any attempt to<br>
guess what "aspect" of LameXP the anti-virus software is misinterpreting as malware would be pure speculation<br>
and might even change with the next anti-virus update. Only the developer of the anti-virus program can fix<br>
bugs inside the anti-virus program. So please report these bugs to the developer of your anti-virus program!<br>
<br>
Finally, be aware that we are NOT liable for any files (downloads), except for those that are directly linked<br>
on the official LameXP web-site or one of the <a href="#8dba381f">official mirros</a>. Other web-sites may be redistributing our<br>
software, but we are NOT affiliated with or funded by any of these web-sites. So while the license of LameXP<br>
allows redistribution, there is absolutely NO guarantee that binaries offered by third parties are genuine!<br>
