There appears to be malware attached to the download for the mission editor.

That is likely a false positive. Many people have already downloaded it without their AV application detecting malware. What AV are you running?

Yes, as Robert stated, it is false positive warning. No malware included. Checked by Avast Antivirus.

A false positive called up often by the exe shortcut included in some packages of JJJ's excellent Mission Ed. Recommended, if you don't want to wrestle with your AV program and the exe shortcut, is to download the version of the Mission Ed. that does not include that shortcut (available at the following link).

EDIT: While the CombatAce link I've provided works nicely, for the non-exe shortcut ver. of the Mission Ed., the link at the third-party hosting site - most likely to the ver. with the exe shortcut, and located in the first post of this thread - is currently broken (Oct. 2, 2021).

Cheers all and happy WOFFing,

I'm just using the default that came with Windows 10. Tbh I'm not worried about the risk of infection, more that Windows won't even let me access the file.

I'm using the non-exe version - am I missing anything?

Only the exe shortcut that may be stickied to your Windows taskbar - but if that is not a major inconvenience for you, then you are not missing anything. Everything else is there that is supposed to be there even in the non-exe package of JJJ's marvelous Mission Editor.

Cheers all and happy mission editing,

As VonS already replied - non exe version is absolutely the same as exe version, only "suspicious" exe file shortcut is missing.

Hallo @Dirk98,

I have it not in use at the time, but the last version 2.0 has been made for BH&H2 and the last WOFF-update 1.37 is from 02.2023, almost 1 year now. Because there are enough user, who use the mission editor, I'm sure, we would have known about problems with 1.37 long ago IMHO.

Greetings!
