Just ran the the software through virustotal

Interesting it shows 4 infections. again these are false positives

A false positive is when a antivirus detects code that it believes is code used by an virus.

Unfortunately because viruses share a lot of real code with real applications unless the antivirus vendor is very careful this shared code can trigger a warning in completely safe software (such as kmymoney).

In the scan linked above we have the file tested against 60 different antivirus products of which 4 have a false positive. if there was a real virus many more than 4 would be triggered.

Hi

I am running your program kmymoney on my Linux UbuntuMate16.10 without issues. I have tried to run it using your windows 4.8.0 download, however, it gets flaged by my Norton anti virus software for MS.Reputation.1 and refuses to install.

Many sources mention this MS.Reputation.1 as being malware with potential problems.

Can you please let me know how and why this is used in your program and if it is a threat?

Regards,
