    I opened my powder toy today, makeing deuterium bombs and i saw there was a new version available... so i downloaded and my AVG internet Security said this was a virus and it was infecting my Winrar and everything! It was a trojan, good thing i caught it before anything happend... Please consider scanning!

    It isn't a virus or anything. Some virus programs give false positives on TPT.

    AVG is a bad antivirus. If you've got legit Windows Vista or 7, use Microsoft Security Essentials(it's free), else use Avast or Avira. Also, there must be an option to make it ignore this file.

    I have AVG, it tends to do this with most Betas. It's not a virus, relax. AVG catches most threats, but it also makes a lot of mistakes. It's safe, trust me. I had the same thing happen to me with the last beta. Besides, every time I open TPT in fullscreen, AVG says it's a trojan. But not when it's the default window :/

    EDIT: He just got comment-raped. 0.0

    avast has it completely clean, anything from this site is official, maybe you downloaded something else?
    You don't need winrar to open a zip, either.

    The best way to solve false positives is to send the report and the file to the makers of your anti-virus software.
