Yes, seriously.Caged inside a VMWare Player, mostly for old stuff and testing purposes, under Linux OpenSuSE 13.1 (kernel 3.11 x64). Quite handy to have it close at hand. And still working fast and perfectly fine with 512 MB virtual RAM allocated to the VM. W7 wouldn't even boot its bloated UI under 2 Gigs... let alone start anything like Octave. Got a good'ol' w2k lying around, too.
http://mxeoctave.osuv.de/README.txt I do a virus check too before publishing :~/$ clamscan -ri octave-3.8.1/ ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 3227234 Engine version: 0.97.8 Scanned directories: 826 Scanned files: 16718 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 804.42 MB Data read: 634.32 MB (ratio 1.27:1) Time: 122.761 sec (2 m 2 s)
Definitely looks like a false positive: google search returns other similar harmless detections (Avira seems overly sensitive to this one). I'm pretty sure it's the same situation here, but I let Avira quarantine both files, just in case.
