    Hi everyone,
    I've downloaded the ISO and scanned it with ES*T Antivirus. It reported 23 threats. It has been downloaded so many times - can this "Distro" be trusted regardless of the scan report?

    Where did you download the software from?

    @Eldon: yes from here
    @plodr: uploading to virustotal takes too long, my ISP only allows 100 KB/s.
    If only 2 AVs on virustotal displayed threats, then why does my PC version show so many?
    I don't know if I can trust it.

    Your Eset is reporting it because it can change things in your system, which his exactly what you want it to do.

    @plodr
    on virustotal only files up to circa 600 MB are accepted for upload. So I couldn't scan the strelec ISO on virustotal. Maybe some messages of my AV were false alarm, but I have still doubts and so I don't use this
