Re: Spyware in Octave

[dbateman]

sed is a classic unix command and stands for stream editor. It is also part
of the MSYS/MINGW project and we just take their binaries. It is necessary
for the help system of Octave as it is used to add macros to the help txt of
functions before streamng that text to makeinfo for formatting. That being
said it not impossible its infected, but I seriously suspect that your
virus/spyware definition file is flagging a false positive. 

Try uploading sed.exe from this install to http://virscan.org which will
test it against a plethora of different scanners. I suspect they only a
couple will give a positive result.
