I just downloaded this 1.5 version to TWO separate computers and I get the following: Upon execution the first thing that happens is that a message box comes up saying that the app cannot be executed from the temporary folder. The folder is a normal hard drive folder. After dismissing this dialog, the Trend Micro security window pops up reporting that it has detected the SCANANDREP spyware and will not allow further execution.
This happens on a Vista Home Premium equipped Q6600 AND on an AMD 4300+ Dual core XP Professional machine. Same exact thing so it is not something at my end. I downloaded the app a second full time to the other machine just to make sure it wasnt a bad download.
Has the download been infected somehow? I would not download it until someone can confirm that its a clean download because on two separate machines, two separate DOWNLOADS off of Shatters.net, it fails both places for the same reason.
thanks,
Marc

Re: Celestia 1.5 download reports SCANANDREP spyware!
I just now downloaded the Celestia v1.5.0 installer. Symantec's anti-virus/anti-spyware scanner found nothing wrong with it.
Please explicitly download and install TrendMicro's most recent anti-virus/anti-spyware signature files. It would seem to be a "false positive".
If their scanner still (incorrectly) reports a problem, you need to report it to Trend Micro.
I have a vague recollection of a similar false positive report a few years ago, which was corrected by downloading current signature files.

Re: Celestia 1.5 download reports SCANANDREP spyware!
I also have had NO indication of anything wrong with this download. Just FYI.
Using registered versions of AVG anti-virus and other anti-spyware programs.
Like Selden said, false positive.
Again, just FYI.
