Webroot virus scanning software was showing a “false-positive” on our website last week, saying that our site “Contains malicious content”, when it does not.  Webroot has since updated their database to show that SpendMap.com is totally safe.

Are you worried about viruses or malware in the free version of SpendMap?  These days you can’t be too careful when downloading files from the Internet.

And because of the popularity of the free version of SpendMap, our installation package (SETUP.EXE) has been picked up by many download sites, which we have no control over.

So if you’re worried about viruses and malware (as everyone should be these days), make sure to avoid these other download sites and get the installation package directly from our website.

Before posting our installation file, we always scan it for viruses, malware, etc. using the latest version of Symantec’s Antivirus Software and then we sign it with a digital signature so you can tell if something happens to it on the way to you.  To check the status of the digital signature, you can RIGHT-mouse click on the SETUP.EXE file, select “Properties” from the menu, then click the [Digital Signatures] tab…

Of course, you should scan any EXE files for viruses, etc. before running them, and you should follow your company’s security protocols when installing any software.
