    Why is the Kadmos OCR Plugin Flagged as Malware?

    Related questions:
    1) Why isn't the KADMOS OCR plugin included in the Plugins download file (iview454a_plugins_setup.exe) for the 32-bit version?
    2) Is anyone else finding the KADMOS OCR plugin file (setup_kadmos_irfanview_us.exe) being flagged by anti-virus software as malware?

    I moved your post to its own thread since the previous thread was tagged as Solved.

    1) I guess because it is relatively large (6.32 Mbytes) compared to 16.7 for all the other plugins together.
    2) False positives are common. Virus total lists one engine that rates it as malicious and two that cannot scan this file type (*.exe). Do not worry about it if you download files from links on the IrfanView web site.
