Do you mean you can't download it, or you can't install it?

i can download it but as soon as it is done downloading symantec antivirus quarantines it because it says it has trojan4 virus

OK. Unfortunately it is difficult for us to do much about this. It's a very common problem that antivirus programs produce false positives for a lot of software.

If you go to https://www.virustotal.com you can upload the installer and see the scan we've just performed - 4 virus programs flag a trojan (including symantec) and 54 say it is fine.

I've uploaded the installer to Symantec to report a false positive.

i have the latest symantec files and it's still getting removed.  I'm not sure if it matters but the file name that gets downloaded  is "completeftpsetup.exe" not "completeftpsetuptrial.exe"

It's the same binary - you can verify that by checking the hashes.  I'm not sure how long it takes for Symantec to update - it could be 24 hours excluding weekends.

yes, youre right, the hashes are the same.  Hopefully it will work tomorrow.

Thanks

I just re-analyzed at https://www.virustotal.com and Symantec is now listed as having passed, so they've done something. Maybe you don't have the latest update.
