[Elecraft] Trojan horse warning

[Dick Dievendorff]

Thanks, Julian.  I just tried that (apparently someone else already had),
and 0 of 41 virus scanners, including AVG 8.5.0.420, reported no threats.

AVG is a bit notorious for false alarms (as is McAfee.) If you get an alert
on a download from a place that you would not expect to get something nasty
from, go to www.virustotal.com and get it checked by something like 44
different scanners. If several other well-known products also find something
wrong, you may have something to worry about.
