You have a sha miss, which means the installer has been compromised, presumably on a CDN. Why haven’t you removed the installer?

@jackokmoxley

Yes, and there is a sha miss with it, which is basically a fingerprint check, which validates the software is the one they meant to deploy

I don’t think this is a false positive, I think someone has modified the download file, presumably on a CDN (content deliver network). The virus checker also found something called BackDoor.

Do not install this update, do not turn off your virus scanner!

Trimble sort this out now.

Not trying to be rude, just honestly asking for the sake of myself and others who probably know very little about software development and publishing, virus creation and virus protection:
what makes you so certain that the installer is compromised?

• What is an “SHU miss”?
• What is “BackDoor:Win32/Bladabindi!ml”
• From what field of experience, education, or source documentation do you make these claims.

Once again, this is being asked from ignorance, but I asked these things because:

1. No one wants their stuff hacked.

Yet…

2. No one wants to wait on installing bug fixes just because some guy says it’s dangerous. You may have read an article about viruses and think you know what you’re talking about, and are sharing misguided opinions on the matter. You may even be a troll.

With such a claim, it may be helpful for the community if you would follow up the claim with some strong evidence so we can make informed decisions, or not warn us at all; we have no idea if you know what you’re talking about.
