Recently there was a discussion on the VX-7 list about ADMS-1G programming software, and I suggested that the person try Chirp, since it worked well in my experience, and is free.</div><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. Is there any possibility that the Chirp download got hijacked? Or is this guy just spreading FUD to get people to buy other software?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks & 73,</div><div><br></div><div>-Eben / K6EBN</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite">1b.
