Hello everyone,
I'm a new user who has been trying to install free pascal, but I have run into issues with my antivirus when installing. Just wondering if anyone can confirm or has seen these issues before.
I have tried the fpc-3.2.2.i386-win32.exe installer from both the Canadian ftp link and from sourceforge. Both installers are identical. After download, I verified both the sha1 and md5 sums as reported on the sourceforge site. A virus scan says the installer is fine.
However, it's during/after installation that the issues start. It appears that fpc.exe gets flagged as a virus and automatically quarantined. I suspect it is a false positive, but this appears to happen with more than one anti-virus vendor; I have attached a screen capture from the virustotal.com to show what is captured.
The name "Gen:Trojan.Heur.TP.gyW@bCMC!Ik" makes me suspect it is being flagged heuristically. An internet search provides no information; I suspect the last part of the name is generated to be unique if the heuristic scan finds something suspicious it hasn't seen before.
Thanks.
