<br>
Occasionally your anti-virus program may mistakenly detect "malware" (virus, trojan, worm, etc.) in some of<br>
the files here. This is called a "false-positive" and the files are actually innocent/clean. It's an error in<br>
your specific anti-virus software. In case you encounter such problems, goto <a href="http://www.virustotal.com/" target="_blank">http://www.virustotal.com/</a> and<br>
check the file with multiple anti-virus engines! Moreover take care with results like "suspicious", "generic"<br>
or "packed". Those are *not* real malware detections, they are just wild speculation.<br>
Occasionally your anti-virus program may mistakenly(!) detect "malware" (e.g. virus, trojan horse or worm) in<br>
LameXP. This is called a "false positive" and the file is actually innocent/clean. It's an error in your<br>
specific anti-virus software. So in case you encounter such problems, please use <a href="http://www.virustotal.com/" target="_blank">http://www.virustotal.com/</a>,<br>
<a href="http://www.virscan.org/" target="_blank">http://www.virscan.org/</a> or a similar online-service to check the file in question with multiple(!) anti-virus<br>
engines. Especially take care with scan results like "suspicious", "generic" or "packed", as such results are<br>
NOT confirmed malware detections and in almost any case they can be ignored/discarded safely!<br>
<br>
Apparently anti-virus programs tend to suspect installers/uninstaller created with NSIS. Furthermore some<br>
anti-virus programs blindly suspect all UPX'd (packed) executables of being malware. Obviously this is a<br>
stupid generalization, so please ignore those warnings! Last but not least: Always keep in mind that this is<br>
OpenSource software. If you don't trust the people providing the pre-compiled binaries, download the source<br>
code, search the code for "malicious" functions (good luck ^^) and compile your own binary.<br>

DON'T SUBMIT ANY VIRUS REPORTS, UNLESS YOU HAVE VERIFIED THE INFECTION WITH MULTIPLE ANTI-VIRUS ENGINES!<br><br>
Conclusion:<ul>
<li>IN CASE YOU HAVE A CONFIRMED INFECTION, RE-DOWNLOAD THE FILE FROM ONE OF THE *OFFICIAL* MIRRORS!
<li>DO NOT SEND US VIRUS REPORTS, UNLESS YOU HAVE VERIFIED THE INFECTION WITH MULTIPLE ANTI-VIRUS ENGINES!
<li>PLEASE REPORT "FALSE POSITIVES" TO THE DEVELOPER OF YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. WE CANNOT FIX THEM!</ul>
