Virus warning on installing Uplink demo
I've tried several times over the last year to install the Uplink demo for Windows (downloading it fresh from Introversion's website each time), but during the installation process, F-PROT AV always reports uplink.exe as being infected and then quarantines it. Has anyone else encountered a problem like this? I'm hoping that it's just a false positive, but I don't have an answer from the makers of F-PROT about that yet.
It's called a "false positive". I've downloaded and checked and got nothing showing up with it at all.

When this happens, try uploading it to VirusTotal: http://www.virustotal.com/
They scan files with a lot of antivirus programs.
Edit: Just downloaded and sent it. It had already been analysed: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/33e8 ... 2b5c2846aa

Hey, that's a pretty cool site, and I've now bookmarked it. Thanks.
So most AV software doesn't detect any problem, but three of them do detect more or less the same possible problem. I agree that most likely it is just a false positive, but I'm still inclined to have my AV maker analyze the file for themselves to verify that.
