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....
