Any concerns about Snap DB - a simple freeware database program?
I saw on a forum (sorry did not mark it) that someone got a message that Snap DB might contain a backdoor trojan. I doubt this, based on discussion in donationcoding.com forum The author Jody Holmes of Skywire Empire and users seem all above board. Any opinions?

I believe that if this program had a backdoor trojan then Webroot AV would stop it in it's tracks. So far I haven't found any information on whether this is a threat.

Hi greynat1927
Welcome to the Community Forums.
From what I can see/have found in relation to this is that Snap DB is well regarded and as such should be quite safe...as long as it is downloaded from the author's website or 3rd party sites recommended by the author...the danger of a backdoor trojan is most like one due to the bundling of PUAs/PUPs that osme disreputable 3rd party download sites are known to indulge in.
