With each new Tor Browser release, some users are complaining that Tor
Browser is reported as a possible virus by their antivirus. It seems that
some anti-virus are reporting any program that has not yet been seen by
many of their users as suspicious. Maybe also that some malwares include a
copy of tor, leading some antivirus to claim that any program including a
copy of tor is a malware.
I think we should add a question about this on support.tpo, to explain
that those warnings can be ignored if Tor Browser has been downloaded from
the official website.
