Is The Latest Dev. Version of Stockfish Infected?

Post by Milton »

I regularly download new developmental versions of Stockfish from https://abrok.eu/stockfish/. My Avast virus protection software reports that the newest version is infected with malware. The version in question is:

stockfish_23020906_x64_avx2.exe

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks.

Thanks! I will override Avast and install the new engine.

There is no need for antivirus software in W10/11. Windows Defender is equal or better than commercial programs according to tests! Besides have there EVER been infected SF version in abrok?
