Yes, there was a thread a few years ago on this.  Supposedly,
it wasn't infected then.  Supposedly, the issue was fixed with
the next version too.

Unfortunately, I found I had odd, virus-like problems with the
versions which were flagged as having a virus or malware etc.
This was despite claims from people here that they weren't
actually infected.  So, if a version of Win32Forth doesn't
pass the two scanners I execute, I won't use it.  I suggest
you don't use it either.
