Arild,
nice idea, thank you.
But what is wrong with your files? My real-time protector (F-Prot) told
me that your second file could be an archive bomb!!! I stopped
downloading now of course because I fear some viruses!
Can you help?
Greetings Laszlo

Dear Laszlo



I am using F-Prot my self, both on my local machines and

and on the servers.



I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the files.

They are text files (compressed with WinZip) and there is no way

A text file can't harm you computer.

hmm.... According to the server log there has only been one download
of this file and that download is not by you.

Careful with your double-negatives there! :-)

Arild,
I stopped all downloads because F-Prot (3.16b, current
definition-files) alarmed me while accessing the second file. If your
system logs all activity and not only complete downloads you might see
my try immediately after my registration.
Be sure I do not want to discredit you since you made a nice offer to
all of us. But I want to be sure that everything is ok with the files.
Merry Christmas
Laszlo

I'm sure your antivirus is giving you a false alarm. I personally
downloaded all four ZIPs, and my antivirus (AVG) did not compain.
Each zip contained one text format PGN file. I was able to combine
the PGN files into one, and convert it into SCID database format
without a hitch, and everything works great here.

I don't see any reason to be worried. And thank you, Arild, for your
generous offer. Merry Christmas.

Dear Laszlo,

It is a false positive from F-Prot. FRISK Software International
is informed - their replay will be posted here when received.


The Zip-file in question contains only one file, a text file
in PGN-format with 1 000 000 chess games.

All the best, Merry Christmas and good chess!
