Hi Keith,

I am writing in response to the bug report you recently submitted regarding the MEGA software. MEGA does NOT contain any malware. Your anti-virus software is reporting a false positive. What you can do is contact your anti-virus software vendor and ask them to update their software. Additionally, all anti-virus software allow you add any files you want to a trusted list. This is because all anti-virus software report false positives on occasion due to the naive design of anti-virus detection.
