Installer quarantined by Symantec
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Tried to install gpg4win today, but when trying to run the installer after downloading it from your website it's quarantined by Symantec Endpoint Protection.

It says the status "Infected" and Risk "WS.Reputation.1".

What's up with that?

Hi,

False positives happen from time to time with various Anti Virus Software. We have it as a FAQ in the wiki:

If you want to help you can report it to symantec.

Thanks

Maybe the 3.1.7 we've just released won't trigger the heuristics anymore.
