Re: 17 & 20 November Downloads

[Joe Wilkinson]

    Hi Richard,
    I may have found it.
    I have McAfee virus protection on my PC, courtesy of BT.
    I downloaded the 2.5 Version from the website and it Typeset fine
    When I tried extracting the Nov30 download using the Windows Extract
    as opposed to 7-Zip I got a message to say that I had been protected
    from an unspecified threat!
    I then tried unzipping with 7Zip and had no such response. But when
    I tried to run denemo I got the usual messages AND a pop-up from
    McAfee to say it had protected me again.
    The file it reports as a problem is gspawn-win32-helper.exe
    I  replaced this file from a working version ( the 2.5 version)
    and a simple scale typeset.
    It gave 2 reassuring messages about trying to load files and there
    being no error - see below for one.
    Best wishes
    Joe
