I suspect it's a false positive, but can't be 100% sure. I’ve scanned the program with Avast and Microsoft SE, and both have found no virus. I suspect it’s a false positive, but can’t be 100% sure.

Downloaded the latest version and scanned it with my antivirus (Avast), and it found nothing. I suspect it's a false positive - I've seen that occasionally with other programs I know to be safe. Antivirus programs have algorithms that look for program patterns outside their virus definitions; that way, they can find viruses that might have been slightly modified, and aren't in their definition lists yet. Sometimes, though, they'll see a suspicious pattern in an innocuous program, but flag it anyway. You might try having someone else on a different computer download the program and scan it; if it looks OK, try copying it onto your system and see if you can get it by Kaspersky Haven’t heard of this problem before.

Are you aware of this problem - if so, how can I get your ptogram to work/ Many thanks Tony Grimley UK Leszek – I have downloaded GmapToolSetup047a.exe but, on trying to run it, Kaspersky has a message ‘riskware not-a-virus: RiskTool.win32.patcher.ab’ and deletes the program.

So if you can't get GMapTool to run in WINE, you should be able to gmt to work; see the readme.txt in the download file for command options. GMapTool is a GUI for gmt.exe, a command-line program.

This way you don't have to use MapSource (which is not available on the Mac).
