> 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.
yeah i just like my laptop to be 100% virus free even if the danger isnt
imminent id rather not have one, especially a trojan seeing as thats a
doorway to my machine?? Plus my machines proved its vulnerability by
picking it up with the install ;)
