Hi,
I just downloaded the Lyx 1.6 developer edition:
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/lyx ... Bundle.exe
and during installing my Virus Scanner (avast) alerts me about a Trojan in the temp directory.
It is not the best virus scanner but it is up to date, so I though to tell you.
Info:
File name: X:\temp\nspB5.tmp\nsB6.tmp
Malware name: Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}
Malware type: Virus/Worm
VPS version: 080729-0, 29.07.2008
(the name changes each start ...)
During install the warning comes again after these steps:
Startup
Compiling Python Scripts
Updating MikTex Filename Database
Configurating LyX
I hope it is false alarm
cheers

Re: Trojan in Lyx 1.6 Windows Beta ?
Judging from the malware name returned by Avast no specific trojan has been detected, so probably something in the installer triggered one of the anti-virus heuristics. Please report that to LyX's developers. Even is there is no virus, such an installer doesn't make users comfortable. I'm sure they would like to know about it.
