| Comment | WinSCP or rather its installer are occasionally reported as being infected by a virus by some anti-virus applications. In all cases so far, it was false positive and some of the later virus database updates resolved this. This "bug" is meant to be a list of all the known occurrences, users may check their alarms against. |
