Thanks for the reassurance - couldn't image that there was a real problem,
but better safe than sorry. My ESET anti-virus gave it a clean bill of
health, so I'm building libraries right now.

 

Best wishes.

Noted by others.

 

White-list it, and all of Boost release zips.

 

The zipping process produces effectively random patterns that trigger a
false-positive antivirus signature match.

 

Microsoft have been asked to whitelist it but .

 

Don't panic ;-)

Hi,
 
Windows Defender is blocking my download from
https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_69_0.html as it is identified
as being unsafe.
 
Can anybody advise, please?
 
Best wishes.
