Oscar

I recently returned to this board due the vast knowledge of the members. I used to use Sleepy Head but I understand it is no longer available.

I recently tried to download Oscar and my virus protection says it is unsafe. Is it.
Thanks Sue Clark

Your 'virus protection' is wrong.

I suggest you read the Oscar installation guide which explains about these false positive virus alerts. In a nutshell, operating systems and virus scanners automatically mark a program "suspect" if:

a) It's a new program from an unknown developer, and/or
b) The developer hasn't paid a swag of money to get on the known-developer list.
