Hi John,

Your antivirus software is not actually saying that chirp is or contains malware. It's saying it doesn't know what it is and is being overly conservative by quarantining it. Here's a link to what your software is telling you:

There isn't really anything we can realistically do about this, so the solution is to change your anti-virus software to not quarantine things it doesn't know about.
