Hello,

Yes I can confirm that Windows 64-bit installer Java 9 b157, b158, b159
and also Java 8 EA u152 is no longer reported as virus/malware
by Firefox 51.0.1 (32-Bit) and Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit).

Thanks
Reto

Hi, I'd been watching this thread also. (Hoping for some confirmation of 
'false positive' as I'm keen to test recent HiDPI fixes.) 
 
I can confirm here that: 
 
Previously 64-bit installers of ea157, ea158 and ea159 had all triggered the 
virus warning in Firefox, tested across 2 separate computers. (Whilst 
Windows Defender had no problem with it.) 
 
Today Firefox (52.0 64-bit Beta) let me download 
jdk-9-ea+159_windows-x64_bin.exe without complaint. 
 
Regards, 
Luke
