===== Adware Alerts ==== ===== Adware Alerts ====
-Since release 4.3.3 the WinSCP installer with OpenCandy should not generate any adware alerts. Previous versions of OpenCandy module included in WinSCP installer were triggered by Microsoft Windows Defender as adware. 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. This problem was resolved with Microsoft and the latest version of OpenCandy module is no longer considered adware.+Occasionaly some versions of WinSCP setup are triggered as an adware by some Antivirus application. When this happens we promply file false-possitive dispute with the Antivirus application vendor. The problem then usually gets resolved withing few days with virus definition update.
-Recently there is similar issue being reported by some users that McAfee considers OpenCandy as adware. A dispute has already been filed with McAfee to rectify the situation.+Currently we are having this issue with McAfee VirusScan.
