Thread: Trojan Detected When Downloading STS3.1 Installer

    Default Trojan Detected When Downloading STS3.1 Installer

    I'm having trpouble downloading http://download.springsource.com/rel...-installer.exe . Upon starting the download my MacAfee anti-virus software (V11.6) says that it is detecting a trojan (PWS-Zbot-gen.alu!dam) and consequentially quarantees the file. What's up?

    Hey!

    I think this is a false positive, which also happened with Symantec anti-virus tools in the past. I will try to submit the installers to McAfee for improving this so that they are not recognized as possible trojans anymore.

    Thanks for letting us know!

    Cheers,

    Default Symantec

    I'm using Symantec and it still recognize the download as a trojan.
    This is the one that I use :
    spring-tool-suite-3.1.0.RELEASE-e4.2-win32-x86_64-installer.exe

    Hey!

    I submitted the latest windows installers to Symantec and McAfee again to let them fix the false positive. Hope this will be solved soon.

    Thanks for letting us know!!!
