Hi,

By downloading the latest Visual D for Visual Studio I get the following message:
"The file contains a virus or malware."

What should I do? Is it a false positive from the browser? I get a similar message from Windows Security.

Download Page:
https://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html

Download Link (it is the second one, just Visual D):
https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/download/v1.4.0/VisualD-v1.4.0.exe

Kind regards,

Carlos Adriano Portes

It's a false positive.

D programs suffer from these reports due to the low install counts.

It seems the latest beta release (1.41.beta4) doesn't have antivirus-related problems. Download link:
https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/download/v1.4.1-beta4/VisualD-v1.4.1-beta4.exe
Other VisualD releases are here: https://github.com/dlang/visuald/release
