thank you for registering and joining our forums!!!

but to answer your question, there is NO virus in Bit Che.

if your anti -virus detects... or blocks Bit Che... please understand that anti-virus programs are NOT perfect.

Bit Che uses a file compressor to keep the file size small and some adware/viruses out on the internet have been using the same compressor. then, these anti-virus programs get LAZY at detecting viruses from legitimate programs and thats why you have some anti-virus programs reporting that Bit Che is infected when really, the program is 100% clean.

I scan my system and all files with multiple online virus scanners, I would never upload any package of software to the internet that is infected.

If you are getting a warning from your Anti-Virus program, please continue to let us KNOW.. but also, please understand that the Anti-Virus program is reporting what is known as a "false-positive".

you can google that if you would like more information, since EVERY anti-virus program on the internet will explain to you about false-positive virus detections.

thanks,  hope that helps!!
