Not really off topic but a few posts back COOP made referebce to a
flight sim program
Flight gear sims

Muggins here decided to laod his first flight sim application and
later try it

Flight sim is an open source application and they are usually a good
community

However, version 0.9.10 exe appears to be infected with a host of
nasties
see this link on what and also how to remove
http://www.viruslist.com/en/viruses/encyclopedia?virusid=150671
also loaded is http://www.pctools.com/mrc/infections/id/Adware.Sogou/
and 264 of its cousins

Before posting this triple checked with emsi Asquared free ver 3 (I
commend this application to those of us on the group who are not of
the GEEK persuasion) also 4 other anti spy ware and checking tools
thru up these infections so do not think it is a false positive

sory hear about the nasties Sir Pits, I use a paid version of webroot's
spysweeper which IMHO is excellent and use it on all our XP's.
Might I suggest that some may wish to avail themselves of a free trial and
use it for some 'housekeeping'..

With respect ....
I can't imagine anyone putting spyware in it as the "open source" community
would
flag this up as everyone (including us) has access to the source code.

Could they be a whole bunch of "false positives" - perhaps its worth send
the web-site a feedback email and see what they have to say.
