Hi.
From the Winboard forum, I tried to follow the link:
http://hgm.nubati.net/WinBoard-4.8.0.exe
It got blocked by Malwarebytes Browser Guard.
It allows me to continue if I trust the site.
So, better safe than sorry...
¿Is the above link safe?
Greetings.

If you do NOT like Arena GUI, try ChessGUI a lot of testers here like to use it, like Graham ==> https://www.google.com/search?q=ChessGu ... gws-wiz-hp

You can also download Tarrash GUI which is extremely easy to use and it comes with Stockfish and Komodo preinstalled https://www.triplehappy.com/downloads.htmlChessqueen wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 5:19 am If you do NOT like Arena GUI, try ChessGUI a lot of testers here like to use it, like Graham ==> https://www.google.com/search?q=ChessGu ... gws-wiz-hp

Only DrWeb thinks it is a malicious download. Probably a false positive. If you do not trust it after all, ask our moderator Harm-Geert here to check again for a virus, he is the owner of Nubati.net

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I have taken a look on the website, and the file still shows up with a modification date in 2014, and an unsuspected size. So it doesn't seem likely the site is hacked. There never have been any complaints before about malware in the file.

Hi.
Thanks for the answer.
I have already downloaded and installed it; but have not yet gotten to play.
My malware protection was suspicious just because the site has low traffic.
