Comment (by egall@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 turbominicooper@…]:
 > is it 100% necessary to include a trojan virus... sounds dodgy to me??

 I mean that's the whole point of the metasploit ports: virus and
 vulnerability testing. They shouldn't harm your own computer unless you
 don't have a clue what you're doing. Although maybe the examples and
 payloads and stuff could get moved to a `+examples` variant or something
 that isn't set by default? That way users like you who are concerned about
 virus warnings could just install normally, but people who do need the
 payloads could just select the variant then.
