Is yWriter6 safe to install?
by Gregg Bell from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4V46W)
I downloaded the yWriter6.zip from here:
http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter6_Linux.html
Then I checked the zip file in Virus Total and one problem was detected.
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/...dbbd/detection
And I ran the SHA256SUM in the terminal and the numbers matched.
So then IF the W32.HfsIemusi thing is a non-issue, then just do the commands:
Code:sudo apt-get install mono-completeThen if that isn't recognized, run:
Code:sudo apt-get install mono-runtime mono-vbncThen to run (so I'll have to run these two commands every time I want to use yWriter6?) the yWriter I run:
Code:cd ~/yWriter6/binand then:
Code:mono ./yWriter6.exe ?
And an extra question. Every once in a while I'll check a file on VirusTotal and only one "engine" will be detected as malware. Is it okay to just routinely shrug that off as a false positive or is there something else I should do? Thanks.
