Description
What do I have to do if my antivirus software (McAfee, Sophos,Trend Micro etc) considers Toad.exe as a virus? -
Resolution
Please contact the company of the antivirus and let them know that Toad.exe is a benign tool.
In case they need the installer they can download the trial version from the link below:http://www.quest.com/toad-for-oracle/

Note:
Toad Data Point 4.x - Trend Micro OfficeScan Agent reporting Toad.exe as a virus. Trend Micro has since confirmed that Toad.exe is clean and Desktop Admins can add to white list. (Contact Trend Micro for confirmation if required)
Additionally Trend Micro reporting a C&C callback violation. This can be resolved by going to Tools | Options | General | un-check 'Submit anonymous usage statistics'. If Toad cannot be used, Uninstall/Reinstall and disable the feedback on installation.
