Trojan virus detected on Crunch 2 .exe file? #183

Hi there,

I tried to download and wanted to try Crunch 2, but the setup file seems like gotten compromised? As shown in the attached photo.

It hasn't been flagged anywhere else, so my guess is that this is a false positive (especially because the setup file is generated by the WINE Windows emulator, which doesn't run other software), but I'll definitely check it out.

I did a thorough anti-virus scan of those files and nothing turned up. Unless Github's server's are infected, I'm thinking again this is a false positive. Unless, of course, you ALREADY had a trojan on your system and it infected the setup file. Try scanning it with another anti-virus program (and do a thorough scan of your system)?
