Got a warning when downloading Phereoshop 1.3.1.1 on Google Chrome that the download "appears malicious" with "discard" as an option. There's an over-ride on the right, so I downloaded and scanned with Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes which reported no problem and it seems to run OK, but I'm just letting you know anyway.

Anyway, been using it and it looks a lot better - but there's no release announcement about it?

Thanks for making the improvements!

Thanks for report!

Naturally, Phereoshop completely safe for your computer and doesn't contain any malicious code. Browsers don't have integrated anti-virus system, so they can't check the internal contents of the file for viruses. Browsers are based on different algorithms for detecting malicious software, but these algorithms often give rise to false warnings.

Most likely, this warning is related to the fact that Phereoshop currently don't have a digital signature. We'll try to add a digital signature in the very near future.
