Virus

Hi,
I have just downloaded the latest version of GIMP fro the GIMP downloads page. On trying to install the software, Windows Defender popped up with a messge that there was a virus. I said to run anyway. AVG blocked the download and quarantined it. I then downloaded GIMP from the bittorrent on the downloads page and came up with exactly the same problems.

I have ran AVG, Malware, CCleaner etc and am left with a file in my downloads fold which I cannot delete. It says that it needs administrator rights to delete it which it should have as there is only administrator on my laptop. The fie says it is 0kb in size but actually it is not. If I right clight and run as administrator, I get the message that the operation did not complete successfuly as the file contains potentially unwanted software or a virus.

I have tried to delete the file with IObit shredder but it i says that it is occupied by another program.

The file name is gimp-2.10.0-x64-setup

Can anyone please help? Thanks

This is because both methods get you the same file - the torrent is setup to use various mirror servers as web seeds.

The initial anti-virus reports have been a common sight for years, andare due to the fact that antivirus software is at least partially basedon whitelists and more recently on reputation-based scores, meaningusers of the antivirus software can report whether they consider a filetrustworthy (this is the 'FileRep' or 'Reputation' 'virus' reports youmight see popping up).

And yes, this means people can attempt to poison such scores.

It's likely that your AV software is now preventing you from doinganything with the file, including to delete it. You should update it tomake sure that the false positive is gone.

User said the file came from gimp.org, and a spoofing or MITM attack is/most/ unlikely. The problem described will prevent the file from beingread, so no hash can be calculated.

As for repairs, I'm sure there are ways: And that they are morecomplicated, harder for a non-professional user to get right, and FARless reliable than just installing Linux and having done with all thatnonsense once and for all.
