Please note that some antivirus programs are detecting a problem with: 1.21.0

zip file: w64devkit-1.21.0.zip

Infected file: bin\debugbreak.exe Reported by F-secure.

Try https://www.virustotal.com on the zip file.

It might be a false positive, but it is worth investigating.

However in the 1.20 fortran version there is no such problem.

That's a false positive — virus scanners doing a poor job as usual. The entire program from entry point to exit is a mere 88 instructions, so with a bit of assembly knowledge and a few spare minutes, you could manually validate it (i.e. via objdump -d and -p). Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about the false positive.

I see.
