[chirp_users] Problem reported with Windows download?

[Todd Bloomingdale]

I've downloaded and installed chirp for over 6 months on my windows
machine, each time there is a new daily build version and my  malware and
also virus scan has never had a problem with chirp. My downloads and
installs get checked at each install, regardless of daily build or stable
build.
