Hi, I tried to download qt with the unified windows installer. But my virus scanner reported a virus when downloading and did not let me proceed. I can't find any general qt email to post the details. Does someone know where to post it?

I would first check with https://www.virustotal.com/ to be sure it is not a false positive.

@jsulm Thanks. Can't do that because I get the warning while the online installer tries to download but my virus scanner blocks it.

Can I ask where you are downloading from and what antivirus you are using?

@raven-worx 300 seconds delay until I could post another message here... I see. Did post on the release list. My next message will be delayed again...

@VRonin I tried to download the x86 windows 7 qt via the online installer. my Scanner is avast.

Someone from the list answered that they are aware but could not decide yet whether it is a virus or a false positive.
