No, it's not a virus. If you download it from the official link, we guarantee you that we do not add anything bad.
All the code is open source and free to inspect, also the build procedures used to create the executable are included in the respository and we guarantee that these are the ones being used for creating the nightly builds or releases, without secret additions.

Some virus scanners tend to have what we call "false positives": they mark a program as malware when it is not. The reason for this is probably that they make their filter too wide, so that more things get caught up then there should be.

We are aware that Norton does not like us. Have a look here: http://www.makehuman.org/doc/faq/norton ... gives.html
I guess we didn't pay the people at Norton enough money ;)
Sometimes I think that these virus scanner creators are just as bad as the people that create malware and viruses (that especially goes for Norton).

All right... I am totally in accord with you. I have a dream... Just like Marthin... A freedom word and out of killing the soul... Spirit of freedom and life. I use make human and blender for my student... I find it very great experience and so my students. Especially make human. So a question... There is an expansion in library for clothing for man woman and child...

We are working on more assets. The nightly unstable build (which is going to be v1.1 to be released soon) already offers more clothes.
