Inappropriate?Hi Maria,
As long as you are downloading Flock from the official http://flock.com/ website, you don't have to worry about it containing a trojan or virus or anything.
However, sometimes anti-virus software mistakenly says that Flock contains a trojan. When this happens, we need to contact the anti-virus vendor to sort out the issue.
So could you please tell me which anti-virus software you are using?
In the meantime, you can still install Flock by temporarily disabling your anti-virus software during the install, and then re-enabling it afterwards.
Regards,

I've found these guys http://www.clamwin.com/ are picking up flock-2.0.3.en-AU.win32.exe as a "Trojan.Downloader-74322" -
Inappropriate?This is incredible! Flock has had this issue for many months and as of July 14, 2009 it is still not solved. Why? I wonder how many downloads and users you have lost because they got scared off?
I’m pissed

Inappropriate?Hey Jppaynesr,
This issue has not been occurring for some time. It may have cropped up again, but we'd have to be pretty asleep at the wheel to miss out on the fact that a bunch of people couldn't download our product since May.
So, likely it is a new issue. Which antivirus app do you have? Do you have the latest virus definitions?

Inappropriate?I just tried to download the English version from the website and my anti-virus program freaked out about the trojan in it. I'm running AVG Antivirus Free 8.5, the latest release, fully updated. I downloaded the Polish language version instead, which didn't give me any errors/warnings from AVG, and am using that instead. -
Inappropriate?this is really bad - it's a nice browser but this virus shit pops up all the time
