Greetings, all users.
There may be a problem, not with YAAC, but with the AVG AntiVirus tool. I have received a report from a user that he couldn't run YAAC. It turns out his YAAC.jar file was gone. Attempts to reinstall it failed with a "no permissions" error trying to unpack the YAAC.jar file from the YAAC.zip file (all other files were unpacked successfully). After rebooting the system, the user was able to unpack the YAAC.zip file, but, upon attempting to run YAAC, it immediately aborted and the AVG antivirus software claimed the jar file contained a virus named IDP.HELU.JarMal14 and moved the file to its quarantine area (which also contained the previous copy of YAAC.jar). This so far only appears to be an issue for build#159, but I'm not sure if it applies to other releases.
There does not appear to be a successful attack on my webserver, so the distribution file should be OK. I am assuming that somehow the latest compile of the JAR file put in a bit pattern that looked like a virus signature, so I am going to get the next build out as soon as possible.
Please let me know if you are seeing similar issues, and, if so, the name and version/build of your operating system and the antivirus software you are using.
