Indy and Trojan Virus...

[Made of Ale]

Yesterday I sent out a link to the two lists about a program for listening 
to new independent music.  Michael was quick to alert us that his 
anti-virus software indicated an embedded trojan.  I have since done some 
digging and it appears to be a false alarm( have installed it on my 
machine, with no indication of the trojan)  I also found this on their 
site(http://indy.tv/faq.html):



My anti-virus software tells me there is a virus in the Install_Indy.exe 
file, what do I do?

We have had reports that AVG Free Edition reports that Install_Indy.exe is 
infected by Downloader.Istbar.8. We have investigated carefully and 
confirmed that this is not the case. We have contacted the makers of AVG 
Free Edition to report this erroneous behavior. In the meantime it is safe 
to disregard this report.



While I can't guarantee that it is safe, I do think the coast is clear and 
have it running on my machines.  Also the code is based on a similar 
project called iRate(http://irate.sourceforge.net/) for those interested.
