Re: Win32 client installer deemed 'malicious' by Chrome

Hi Mike,

Echoing what waldo kitty said, all of our installable files, zips etc.
are pgp-signed by the coder who uploads them. If anybody knows who I
should ask at Google about getting the warning removed, I am all ears.
:)

Kind regards,
Mike
