Yesterday I tried downloading the windows version r488 from source forge  and Norton antivirus quarantined the installer claiming that it contains a BitCoinMiner virus. 

Can anyone else confirm?

This is the last scan of the 488 exe:

I think it would be good to move away from SourceForge at some time though, there has been much controversy. I don't trust them.
