While installing Bitsquare-0.4.9.9.3.dmg (Mac.), Virus Barrier popped a screen which suggested that “OSX/Eleanor” is malware. After checking on the internet about “OSX/Eleanor” I instructed Virus Barrier to “repair” the file. Was that action correct?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. On logging into the software just now Virus Barrier once again popped up with the warning screen, so I told it to “trust” the code in “OSX/Eleanor”, so as to allow the program to run. Should I de-install the program, do a malware wipe on the hard drive, and then get a new copy of your installer?

There have been a few reports in the past and I double checked it and did not find any issues.

Anti-Virus software reports much false positive. The Tor binary seems to be a reason for some to flag the app.

Ps: I assume u have downloaded it form the official page (Github). Check the signature as well to be sure you got the right installer.
Downloaded from the site and signature is ok (the key expired today btw).
VirusTotal found nothing with all 56 antivirus software it supports.

Ah thanks. I just updated the key.
Thanks Manfred. I accept that Virus Barrier’s warning should be ignored.
