Tried to download the files needed to run Cumulus and Weathercloud and the .exe file was flagged by my AVG

This time I used (mirror) and all is well....The zip folder itself is the one that set off my AVG...strange

I downloaded it from the mirror site. AVAST doesn't see it as a virus.

This had been mentioned before and determined to likely be a "False Positive" http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11998&p=110965&hilit=weathercloud#p110965
 
That is a third party addition for sending to Weathercloud using Cumulus 1.  Cumulus MX has the Weathefrcloud upload built in so that third party program is not needed.
