Re: New get_iplayer seems to have a virus

That's the right place to get it.

I've been using it for years and never had a problem before, though submitting the latest installer to Virustotal does return a number of positives. I'm inclined to think it's a false positive, however it has already been flagged up on the get_iplayer mailing list. According to one reply there, "This crops up almost every time a release is made".

Given their very good track record to this point I'm leaning towards false positive, but keeping an eye on the mailing list just in case something has been compromised.
