Malware in VP trial version...?

Has anyone else run into this problem lately? I can't download the trial version of VP 3.74, because my AGV antivirus program says it detects malware in the file and blocks the download. The malware file is called "MalSign.Generic.036." Why would this be in an NCH file???

Thanks in advance,

Andy

I wouldn't be concerned re NCH products. But a Videopad install does write many (non-threatening) registry and menu entries for their other utils, so perhaps that's what AGV is picking up.

Latest version is 3.81. Download it directly from NCH, not from a third party and, if necessary, temporarily disable your AV.

Did you download v 3.74 from nchsoftware.com or nch.com.au? Files from these sites are fine.

If you got it from a 3rd party site, which one? Thanks.

Directly from NCH.

It turns out that it's a false positive and we're working with the anti-virus companies to resolve the issue.

It's safe.

Thanks, Cnr-NCH! I was just now able to download it from nchsoftware.com.
