Hi.

a warning has just appeared for a trojan in the nightly build that I installed a couple of days ago.

Seems a bit wierd that the warning should pop up only now.

Anyone else found any trojans in their nightly build? Or is my antivirus program overreacting?

It appears that some virus scanners are prone to issue false positives for software containing installers. If this is the Windows installer of OpenSCAD, that’s likely the case.
Best recommendation I can think of is to open a bug report against the scanner in question, and hopefully they’ll figure it out.
