Symantec reports a virus when downloading 2.10 for Windows

Hi list

I just tried to download the newly released 2.10 but the file gets caught by my company enforced Symantec security setup.

I get refered to this URL for more details on this "SMG.Heur!gen":

https://www.symantec.com/security-center/writeup/2015-100107-5528-99?vid=4294908246

I expect the your file to be fine and Symantec to falsely detect it as containing a virus.

Regards, Casper

We can't do anything about that - report the problem to Symantec or switch to a less broken security product.

If you can't fix it, feature it.

Likewise, make sure you only download from GIMP.org
