All software you can download from AGI has been carefully examined for virus using the newest anti-virus software from recognized vendors, and our servers are also contantly monitored by anti-virus software.

The problem is well known by many software manufacturers. Often a virus is detected by recognizing a certain bit pattern. The same bit pattern can of course also by chance appear in other files, and the probability for such a coincidence cannot be disregarded in tar.gz files of the size we are talking about here.

The vendors of anti-virus software do their best to avoid these false alerts. When a virus has been known for a while one can often identify it more precisely. This is why most false alerts disappear when a newer version of the virus definition file is installed.

There is not really a solution to the problem. But if you get a virus alert when you download from us, you can help us (and the manufacturer of you virus scanner) a lot by sending us information about it, and we will take immediate action!
