Downloads
We have validated that the downloads do not contain malware by using multiple virus detectors, such as Malwarebytes. However, the Chrome browser may sometimes misidentify erasmus downloads as containing a virus. The result may be that the download is automatically deleted by the browser, or it may mark the download as "potentially unsafe". In the second case, you can click on the download icon on Chrome, and then click "Keep" on the download. But in any case, it might be faster to simply use another browser, such as Firefox. If you wish to be cautious, you can then check the downloaded file for viruses using your antivirus software.
Note: It appears that Windows Defender also misidentifies viruses in some files. We recommend any of the other antivirus products on the market in its place.
