It has come to my attention that some anti-virus scanners are flagging a Trojan for the Astrocalc executable file. This is a so called "false positive" 100% and I will explain why. However, first I want to say that I understand this may cause worries but I can assure there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of, please read inside for the full story.

To run the latest and greatest version of Astrocalc you need to have installed the latest Windows Service Pack, current as of the Astrocalc Software release. Now why (you may ask)? Well there are many reasons but a top one is that a majority of the problems on Internet related to spreading of spam as well as viruses, worms etc. comes from the fact that many people neglect to update and secure their computers and of course are there "dark forces" that like to take advantage of this. Hence, Windows Update (WU) is in fact (almost) everybody's friend!  But there is more to it...
