We occasionally receive reports of warnings created by malware checkers. We test our code against several checkers but can’t test them all. Our release 12.0 setup file recently showed zero hits from 68 checkers and the 12.0 editor exe file showed 4 hits out of 68. We have reported these as false positives to several vendors and without exception have received responses stating that the files were indeed clean. Note that the editor is signed using both SHA-1 and SHA256 certificates. If your malware detector reports any of our software as infected, please have the vendor analyze the file (most provide easy-to-use procedures for doing this) and let us know also as we can follow up. Thank you.
