Trojan found in VirtualMIDISynth 1.16.1

Hello,

I've downloaded the file http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/system/files/CoolSoft_VirtualMIDISynth... and Windows Security warns me about a trojan: Win32/Varpes.M!cl

Is it a false positive or...?

Version 1.16.1 is a little bit outdated, from where and when did you downloaded it?
Some third party websites offer unofficial VirtualMIDISynth downloads, I don't have any control over them other than asking them for removal...
Versions actually available for download are 1.17.0 and 1.17.1, please use one of them.

Anyway, there was some issues with false positives a while ago, see here for details.

From your website (see link in my first post), in august 2015.

The scan I ran yesterday on my computer gave me the warn.

Ok, that's fine.
It was clean at that time (https://www.virustotal.com/it/file/cb7e924eb4a4fe17ab0027137d6a7ad785842...) but now 1.16.1 is both unavailable and unsupported.

Please remove it and download the newest one ;)
