Hi, I wanted to trial Crossover for Mac and found that the current trial download is infected with a virus. My antivirus quarantined over 100 files from the zip file. Is there a 'clean' version (older than the trial version) I can download somewhere else on the website? I sent an email to codeweaver support.
Hi,
Unfortunately, your antivirus software is incorrectly flagging CrossOver files. This has been an issue for some time, and the antivirus software companies have told us that the only way to "fix" the problem is to have everyone report the results as incorrect so that their algorithm can learn.
Frustratingly, with every new CrossOver release the files are slightly different as we add the latest Wine improvements, and we have to go through the process of teaching their algorithm all over again. We have an article here that gives an overview of how to get around this problem: https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/mactutorial/bitdefender
Since your A/V software is flagging the files immediately on download, you will need to disable it temporarily and then download a new copy of the CrossOver installer.
Thanks,
Anna
