Sorry T-man

[quote=Thunder-man]Excuse me, this is not my description for alm 1.2[/quote]

Sorry T-man, I accidentally skipped over the 1.2 release and went straight to the 1.2.1

I've added the new features included in v1.2 to the changelog.

No Problem

No Problem Juicemaster.

But the description of 1.1 was faulty, hence, I had written new topical for 1.2

Excuse for the circumstances

Real inspiration

Inspiration is the overwhelming step in the evolution.

Mankind only evolved trough innovation.

It started with the fire, then the wheel.

The third step was gunpowder followed by the nuclear bomb, and then finally.

There was SvS.

Virus identified

AutoIt.blt is no virus

The "virus" you are reporting is not a virus but a Autoit tool that changes some code to run correctly. Some virus scanners recognize this and reports it as a virus.
You can safely use the file with no problems.
And after installation of Alayer maker, the file is not needed anymore, so you can safely remove it.
