GRASS GIS, virus alert

[Lindgaard, Henrik]

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

Hi!

 

I’ve tried to download GRASS GIS from:

http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-6.4.0SVN-r39271-1-Setup.exe

and

http://grass.itc.it/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-6.4.0SVN-r39271-1-Setup.exe

 

Both times the download gets halted with message that

“IWSVA Security Event..”  and “Virus infected temporary block..”

The download halts at 50.6 MB (or 53 102 512 byte) both times. Is this a reoccurring problem? Is there a fault with my institutions firewall/antivirus?

 

Greetings,

Henrik

So far nobody has reported this problem despite thousands of downloads.
I assume that this is a false positive which triggers the alarm.
