I am getting these type of false alarms more and more.

Homer 2, Feuerstein, Kingsout, Mediocre, NanoSzachy...
due to compression; java compiles; newest compilers etc...

I've only ever come across one chess engine which contained malicious, intentional virus payload in the executable and that was FAFIS.

Oh, thank you guys. I was not aware up to now.
That means more cleaning work on my files.

Do you remember the version, 2.6 or 2.8?

When I started with engine tests, the version of Fafis
was 2.5, IIRC. This is why I dont remember this case.

Few months ago, I have downloaded ccc archives and
looked speedily at them. I have not seen this either.

NanoSzachy should read pikoSzachy 3.0.
