Thank you Although i am pretty sure anyone that is a member here knows where to get the authentic Gimp...It's now updated threw their Gimp program >Help>About Gimp>Check for updates

I came across an ad today purporting to link to Gimp Forum.

I would expect Ofnuts/Rich to be across these malware links already.

Hi sallyanne - r/gimp is a reddit group for Gimp users.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/
I've never had an issue with reddit -mostly helpful info. Then again I use no antivirus whatsoever because apparently security is built-in to linux.

The Russian AV software that is available for windows once had a good reputation. I wonder what their reputation is like in 2022?

Hi OMG Gimp-forum has a comma in it. Anything else could or would be fake.

If you search for Gimp on Google, 1) that link isn't there anymore and 2) there are links to pages that tell that very story:



So I guess the scare is over.

Btw I hardly use Google these days, DuckDuckGo is a much better search engine, with a lot less bloat in the results, and that takes me directly to StackOverflow/Wikipedia where useful.
