trojan in calibre 0.5.11?

BookLoverToo · 05-09-2009, 07:49 PM

Hi Kovid,
I can't download the 0.5.11 version of calibre as McAfee tells me it is infected with a trojan called Artemis!2C5F04C43777 and automatically deletes it.

Thanks for such a useful program by the way! (and I'm not being sarcastic - Calibre is great!)

That's a false positive, disable mcafee and run the download

OK thanks!

And now Kovid has access to everything on your computer.

I kid.

I think you left out two words: "you not"

That completes your thought.

<evil laughter> on the way to world domination! Is there a world domination emoticon?

Seriously though here's a FAQ on it:
