Grisoft AVG false positve virus detection in Xilinx software.

you...

There was another thread on this...

In your opinion, how are the Xilinx forums shaping up as a useful tool for exchanging information?

Looks like the latest AVG update fixes the problem.

Hi Brian, No idea, I only went there because it was the solitary hit for 'Downloader.Swizzor xilinx'! Cheers, Syms.

That probably answers the question actually. I poked around and didn't see very much of interest. Maybe occasionally useful but who needs another daily timesink?

I think you'll find a lot of posts by Xilinx users who aren't familiar with comp.arch.fpga, and since the new forum site has taken away the portal to c.a.f they are not likely to find it as quickly as they used to. My biggest gripe with the Xilinx forums is the excessive compartmentalizing and lack of a "latest posts" view. There are many other supporters of "latest post" view in the forums, but so far the site hasn't been updated to include it. In the meantime my guess is that people unaware of c.a.f will post on the Xilinx forums, and those who know of c.a.f will continue to post here for a quicker response from a broader user base.

I've been trawling the Altera forums of late - they're much more usable. And prettier (but hasn't that always been the difference between Altera and xilinx tools :-)
