The 16-bit EXE is the original one published by Microsoft in 1991. The 32-bit EXEs were compiled by me on a reasonably secure Windows NT machine in 2005, and never set off any warnings until very recently. I have confirmed against old backups that the files have not been modified. For the sake of utter thoroughness, I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 2000 and Visual Studio 6.0 from original Microsoft CDs on a blank computer not connected to any network, loaded the SkiFree source code by floppy disk, and recompiled. The new EXE file is here: ski32rebuildvs6.exe And I've also recompiled with Visual Studio 2019 (downloaded from Microsoft) on a Windows 7 machine: ski32rebuildvs2019.exe Please let me know if these newly rebuilt EXEs are (or are not) setting off malware scanners. I think I can pretty well guarantee that the VS6 one is clean! I think you are getting the trojan warning because he has an .exe file to download (in case the .zip file doesnt work on a computer). I mean, this guy isn't even hiding his real name or anything, worked for Microsoft in the 90s, etc. If you want to just download the file, the URL is just https://ski.ihoc.net/ski32.zip --- Marvel presents Marvel Marvel's The Marvels <cite>Robot2600 posted [p:953971124] in PSA: You c...
