Just a note this came up as a 'bad' file:
minirosetta_3.52_windows_x86_64.exe

Please can you confirm this file is in fact good?

I presume the AV Scaletrix is using is the "Norton Power Eraser" in the subject line.

I can only say that my AV did not have an issue with the v3.52 executable, and that the project has never released any actual virus in the past (although a number of AV products have flagged false positives through time). Suggest you see if there is a way to "whitelist" R@h.

Thanks, that's what I expected but just wanted to check to be sure. Norton Power Eraser looks for rootkits etc., it does warn it may flag applications in error.
