Postura sobre malware

Aclaración de no malware

Community Edition is not designed as malware. Softonic’s trust panel reported clean VirusTotal-based results for scanned official-style Windows builds. That does not replace your own verification.

Occasional antivirus or SmartScreen warnings are a known class of false positives for Java desktop installers and newly published binaries. Treat them as signals to verify hashes and source, not as proof of compromise by themselves.

disclaimer · user responsibility

Responsabilidad del usuario

You are responsible for validating packages, protecting credentials, complying with data regulations, and configuring network access. dbeaver.dev provides informational pages and download placeholders; it does not operate your databases.

Update only from channels you trust. Prefer installer packages when your OS supports them. Keep Community minors current on the two-week cadence when security-relevant driver or connectivity fixes land.
