Is there a virus in DOSBOX for CentOS 7.6?

Hello,
I tried to run dosbox on CentOS, but ended in big a crash.
I removed the internet cable and have tried to fix the
problem. No luck. I opened some windows and connected
the cable again. To my surprise activities started on my
display, adding windows, removing windows etc. so I
quickly removed the cable again. Can viruses have come
with DOSBOX? Someone that knows?
Thanks in forward!

Yes, it could create a vector for malware. Did it come with malware? Dunno, where did you get that program from?

Thanks. Sorry I don't remember the site.
Next time I should write it down!

dosbox (version 0.74-2) is available in the epel repository and I would expect that to be stable. If you installed it from any other source or used a SVN build as stated who knows.
