Virus/Maware Warning after Download

Open tuttnauer opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

When I tried to download the .msi or .zip files from: http://hostsfileeditor.codeplex.com/ I got warning that file contains a virus or malware.

I see the links to your releases on GitHub are fine: https://github.com/scottlerch/HostsFileEditor/releases

All the best, Guy

Were you using Chrome? Sounds like same issue as #14. What if you try downloading from https://hostfileeditor.codeplex.com/? My current theory is Chrome doesn't trust HTTP endpoints, it wants HTTPS.

False positive. I use Chrome and can install it just fine.
