I am wondering though, if you could change your code such that the similarity to some kind of Trojan programs might be reduced. The previous Chimera version did not show this problem and I am hesitating to de-activate my virus scanners for the purposed of installing your software, especially since it sends these alerts.

It's a false positive, caused by a digital signature match between the trojan you cite and an icon within the Chimera executable. We've notified the 2 or 3 antivirus s/w vendors who are reporting the warning message, and we're looking at other ways to deal with the problem.

To whom it may concern:
Dear developers of Chimera. I am facing a problem with the currently distrbuted version (1.5 rc) of Chimera. When I am trying to install the program I receive a warning message from my antivirus program (Avira Antivir with VDF Version: 7.10.13.235) that the chimera.exe windows installer is trying to install the following malware /Trojan software:
TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen2 TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen
Could you please be so kind to check if this alert is serious and whether or not your program might be infected ?
Many thanks in advance sincerely
dv
