hi,
my Avira antivirus program says that there is a trojan in the bamse-0.9.5 package. I downloaded the hackage-torrent a week ago, and Avira says "TR/Crypt.CFI.Gen" is in bamse. To be sure, I downloaded bamse-0.9.5 from hackage today, and now avira says less specificly that there are "some viruses and/or unwanted programs" inside.
.Gen usually means that the file isn't a known virus but some heuristics triggered. This can also happen if a file is compressed with an executable packer that the virus scanner can't decompress, which wouldn't be strange for an installer tool. I don't know if that's the problem in this case but I had a lot of trouble with virus scanners in combination with executable packers so it might be. -- Jannis
