False alarm then, got it.
Thanks for helping out, man.
EDIT: As it turns out, Opera seems to not allow you to ignore a virus warning. Only options are to retry the download or cancel it. Retrying just results in another warning, meaning that it cannot be downloaded.
Well, guess it's time to boot up ol' Firefox again.
Forge release 14.23.0.2512 (latest for 1.12.2) was detected as a virus when downloaded via OperaBrowser.
At least 14.23.0.2501 also has this issue.
The recommended version (14.23.0.2491) seems to not have this issue, as I did not get that warning when downloading it.
This is an issue to me because I intend on using Twilight Forest (it got updated at last) and it requires at least 14.23.0.2501 to run.
Wouldn't be the first time I was wrongly warned something was malicious (McAffee, anyone?), but I still have my doubts.
Question is: Can anyone confirm whether or not these versions do contain malware of some sort? Or is it just a false alarm?
Did you download it from MinecraftForge.net?
