Nightlies Security Threat?

[Codinablack]

So apparently google chrome thinks that downloading a release of the current 1.2 version for 64bit release on otland's nightlies is harmful. I have NEVER seen this ever before from chrome so it is a concern for me, otherwise I wouldn't even be posting here. I decided to go ahead and download anyways, and it blocked the program saying its harmful, anyone else have a similar problem or any clue as to why this is happening?

Assuming that the security of the nightly build service hasn't been compromised, it is most likely a false positive because a certain signature has been detected in the executable.

I sent a pm to Mark a while a go, no respons.
If you are afraid of the website go to github and compile the code yourself.
Otherwise you have to allow chrome to actually download the file, otherwise as you said it will give an error message "harmful file" etc etc.

Yes, all this I know. The only reason I was going to download the nightlies is because I was having so much trouble compiling boost for vs2015, but I downloaded vs2013 and got it to compile for me thanks to ninja. I'm not "afraid" so to say, just concerned as I have downloaded nightlies (because of the ease) MANY times before and this has never happened.

Is there any reason to use the latest tools to compile 1.2 instead of using 2013?

AFAIK VS2013 doesn't support a few C++11 features that we might start using in TFS in the near future. Apart from that, you have some compiler efficiency and IDE improvements.
