 +===== Adware Alerts ====
 +Occasionally you may receive alert from your antivirus or other security application regarding the WinSCP installer/OpenCandy.
 +
 +Most notably, Microsoft Windows Defender has started recently to trigger WinSCP installer. See corresponding entry on [[http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?name=Adware:Win32/OpenCandy|Adware:Win32/OpenCandy]] on Microsoft security site. The article correctly describes OpenCandy functionality in a similar way as this page. And correspondingly states that security threat from OpenCandy is low.
