We had a report yesterday from a user Daryl that BitDefender was reporting a possible virus infection on his PC that appeared to be connected with OpenSolver. Thanks to great work by Daryl and our programmer Jack, we identified this as a false positive (i.e. an incorrect report of a virus) being triggered by BitDefender’s ‘heuristics’. BitDefender was objecting to some of our VBA code, including one of our comments. (Note that I said comment, not actual code, and so this is definitely a case of BitDefender being overzealous!) We will tweak our next release to better avoid false reports such as these.
Thanks, again, to Daryl for contacting us with his concerns. Much appreciated.
