GIMP 299.10 virus alert during installation
#2
If you downloaded from https://gimp.org you're safe!
Thus from that URI, It's not because your pseudo anti virus detected code that pirates or bad people can use or part of it to make virus (not hackers, I do make the difference) that GIMP has virus, it's not because your anti-virus--company (where the company never, ever check the open source code) is just f$%^&ng lasy that GIMP has virus in it.

if you believe your antivirus reading few freaking code line which does not make any differences between a good app and bad app more than me, DO NOT install GIMP and search for something else!
Same thing for the plugin G'MIC from https://gmic.eu

In the end my recommendation... Uninstall your anti-virus, I was on windows for more than 15 years 3.x/1994 to 2010, without antivirus, I never got one virus (um.. not exactly I voluntarily downloaded few of them to study them)
