My antivirus flagged Clippy. Is it a virus?
No, Clippy is not a virus. Because prank software displays unexpected pop-up messages, some antivirus programs may flag it as potentially unwanted. This is a false positive. Clippy does not contain malware, spyware, or any malicious code. You can verify the download using the SHA-256 hash provided on the download page.
