Please modify your post so the link isn’t active for a suspect link, e.g. http :// www . gigasize.com/get.php/-1100228621/OF4p3.zip this will still allow for checking but won’t cause possible accidental exposure to the curious for their own good.

Unfortunately, I don’t get an alert on that page now (nor does DrWeb link scanner), but neither can I download the zip file either to check that, I enter the 3 digit code and click download the timer runs down but no download (in firefox, killing the pop-ups very effectively and the ads).

I tried with avant browser and failed miserably there you have to jump throw so many hoops I thought I was a circus performer and you are subjected to poker site pop-ups and ads, that I wouldn’t use this site under normal circumstances.

But there is no alert on that page ‘for me anyway’ at this time.

No warning on the site. The download is half a gig, so I didn’t check it out.

Please, right click the file and scan it again.
If it was a false positive detection, it would be ‘too’ fast to be corrected in the same day…
