<p>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.</p>

<div><br></div><div>One person on the list replied as follows, suggesting that there is malware in the Chirp download. Since I don't have a Windows machine, there's no way I could verify that.
