[Opensim-dev] Virus alerts when downloading source from SVN

[Impalah]

Forget the warnings or add the opensim folder to the ·exceptions". It isn't
for the source code but for the included libraries: any library that "opens"
a tcp/udp socket is treated as a virus.

I had the same problem three weeks ago, and after doing a simple test
creating a http .NET server it was detected as a virus so... maybe the
"heuristic algorythms" used for the antivirus are too much "heuristic".

Oh... and some PHP extensions and Apache modules are "virus" too, even some
original printer drivers.

Greetings
