+We have been asked about the fact that some anti viruses, including those +on VirusTotal, have identified the Microsoft +Windows downloads as containing malware. What we know is that they are generated from +the open source +source code by AppVeyor, are checked using +VirusTotal before they are uploaded, and at that point were considered to be malware clean. +
+However, as time passes, they seem to accumulate classifyings as containing malware +in what appears to be false positives. So we believe the downloads are nonetheless safe and free of +malware. +
+Furthermore, note that we believe that many anti-malware applications are harmful +by themselves, and that they are all an incomplete (non-)solution to an +issue that does not exist in Linux and the BSDs operating systems. +
