Every time I try to download Tropy for windows the download is blocked. The reason given is, “Virus detected.” Help!
You are downloading this from our website, right? Which browser / virus scanner are you using? I can only assume that this is a false positive, but it would be best to compare the downloaded file’s checksum with the ones we provide on the release page.
I’d suggest to download the file, overriding the virus scanner if necessary, but make sure not to execute the file immediately, just save it to the downloads folder. Then you can compute the file’s checksum in the Windows terminal:
certutil -hashfile "setup-tropy-1.16.2-x64.exe" SHA1
If you’ve downloaded the 64-bit version. You can then compare the checksum with the one we provide here - if the checksum matches then you got the correct file and it should be safe to ignore the warning.
