[Elecraft] New KPA1500 Remote Program

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Have no fear, it’s a “false positive”.  Two of the hits are defined as 
“FileRepMalware” which after some research basically means the KPA1500 Utility 
has not been seen widely by the virus detection engine., which is not 
unsurprising as 1.14 was brand new, and isn’t widely distributed.

Its likely to happen on many of our utilities, since the wider non-ham public is 
not using them.
