Hello Folks, Sorry for the somewhat off topic post as my first post to the list but since Scite has been recommended as an editor for CSound I thought it worth posting. Has anyone else had Scite identified as a virus?? After my last virus program update and scan (CA Anti-Virus) I was notified that Scite.exe was deleted as it contained the Win32/rewas virus. I searched the web and found very little about this virus and it's effect. Also could not find any way to contact the developers of Scite. Seems even the zip file I downloaded a second time and scanned was infected. Any help or info is appreciated.... Don Kralik Garwood, NJ 07027 |
