Re: Xy4dbMac malware! - NOT



Okay.  No offence intended! 

The warning was not hard to find, and I did read it. I have seen warnings about malware programs
interfering with installations, so I thought my malware program might block 'installation�
when I first ran Xy4DBMac.

Getting the false positives was almost accidental.  I was checking something else and noticed that
Xy4DBMac.app was using a lot of CPU whether it was handling a document or not.  So I ran it through
the malware checker and got the results I reported.

Bitdefender must have done *something* to Xy4DBMac, though, since it no longer reports a problem. As
far as I can tell, Xy runs as it did before.

Perhaps you�re right about the magical thinking. I can�t remember Bitdefender
reporting anything evil in recent years. I had a few virus problems back in my Windows days, but
I�ve used Mac for almost 20 years now, running Windows in virtual machines only for the sake
of a couple programs I liked (or needed, in one case).

Again, sorry for the offence!
