Hi,
I know this has been asked before, only that I did not experience the
problem ...
Since months I use Bitdefender antivirus software. I never experienced
any problem running texmfstart. However since three days Bitdefender
thinks, that the executable texmfstart from 27-07- 2005 contains a
Trojan. I checked the size of texmfstart.exe. I got an older version
which is 580kB the one which gives problems has 596kB. Copying the older
version into the tex-tree works fine and Bitdefender does not complain.
First question is: which is the actual version and size of texmfstart.exe?
Provided that there is nothing wrong with texmfstart.exe with the size
of 596kB should I contact the Bitdefender developpers?
Kind regards
Willi

this exe file is just the ruby dll + some ruby scripts in a
self-unzipping (on a temp path) format; so, it's most is not really
executable code (which is what they assume from the exe) but compressed
ruby code (which should be treated as such)
