Hi guys,

I'm testing PD3.0 and I would give a try to the MSAmanda node too, but I'm not able to dowload the installer https://ms.imp.ac.at/index.php?file=msamanda/MSAmanda_PD3.0_3.0.0.20100.exe, as my antivirus (Windows defender on W10 x64 21H2) states it contains a Trojan:Win32/Spursint.F!cl

Any hints?

Kind Regards

Filippo

Hi Filippo,

we found the issue. Version numbers were getting too high, letting the defender think the zip contains a virus. We fixed that, can you please try again:

https://ms.imp.ac.at/index.php?file=msamanda/MSAmanda_PD3.0_3.0.20.558.exe

Please let me know if it now works for you!

Thanks!

Best wishes,
Viktoria

Hi Viktoria,

I'm getting a similar antivirus warning when downloading the MS Amanda installer for PD 2.5 - can this be fixed in the same way as for the PD 3.0 version?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best,

Peter

Hi Peter,

sorry for the delay! We also changed the versioning for the PD2.5 installer, you can find the new version here: MS Amanda PD 2.5

Please let me know if it worked for you!

Best wishes,
Viktoria

OT: will the Spectra clustering node be updated for PD 3.0 too?

Hi Filippo,

I forwarded your request to the developers of the node, they will look into that!
