I downloaded the file and uploaded it to virustotal. Looks clean to me. CMC Threat Intelligence flagged the google drive link but not the actual file.

Why flagging a PDF file? Can PDFs have viruses?

I provided the sVB full reference book (751 pages) which covers the language syntax, IDE and lib in full details with samples. It also provides links to the source code and the installer. Small Visual Basic (sVB) is an open source educational programming language. It is an evolved version of Microsoft Small Basic (SB) that is meant to be easier and more powerful at the same time, to introduce programming basics to kids and beginners of any age, provided that they can use the English keyboard on the Windows operating system. sVB has the best of SB, VB6, VB .NET, VS .NET IDE, Win Forms, and WPF.

> Published several VB.NET and C# books since 20008, to introduce the .NET platform in Arabic to beginners and professionals.

I'm just happy to know Visual Basic and C# are still relevant in the year 20008 :)

Joking aside, I took a quick peek at the book you made, and I applaud your effort to create an easy to use BASIC language for beginners. Actually, that's also a goal of mine in the future (but based on TI-BASIC). Still, nice work!

:D I thought I've fixed this 20008 typo (as I got several funny comments about), but I seem to did this in a backup copy not the original file! Such typos can reveal one's true identity, which risks to alter the timeline :D Thanks @wsc981, and I wish to hear about your new generation of TI-BASIC soon.
