[chirp_users] Chirp and virus alarm

[Robert Terzi]

Probably worth mentioning:

At a minimum yo ushould verify the link that you are clicking to
download comes from the correct site, the chirp web site.

When you are hovering over the link for the actual download it should
come from chirp.danplanet.com, or trac.chirp.danplanet.com.

There are lots of malicious sites and banner ads that will try to
get you to download other software or your intended software with
an infected installer.

Additionally, you can verify that the checksum of the file you
downloaded matches the one published on the CHIRP web site in the
same folder in a file named SHA1SUMS.  You need the utility sha1sum,
or an equivalent that can compute a SHA-1 checksum.

Hope this helps,
