Re: Virus in Snetterton?

It's NOT a virus (sounds like Arnie in "Kindergarten Cop"!!! :-)) The GPLEA people stated something about this anomaly just after Snett was released. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- James Pickard <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bAfF4.1282$[email hidden]... > I get that too :-( > > Very annoying.... > > > James Pickard > > > > > Jason Grider <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:JzeF4.79660$[email hidden]... > > Hey folks, > > I updated inoculateit today, then let it scan the hard drive. bill_5.mip > > comes up with PeaceKeeper....Any clues? > > > > Jason > > > > > >

Hey folks, I updated inoculateit today, then let it scan the hard drive. bill_5.mip comes up with PeaceKeeper....Any clues? Jason

Virus scanners pattern-match files for recognizable sequences of byte values. Apparently this file contains a sequence of byte values that triggers this warning. As this isn't an executable file you should have no concerns about the warning. I would think that any decent virus scanner would have an option to add such a file to a list of files to ignore as this sort of thing can happen. Regards, Brett C. Cammack That's Racing!

I recommend someone (only ONE) tells the people who make the scanner about it, because it *might* be something wrong with their scanner... I can assure you we haven't been adding virus code to graphics! Cheers, Phil "Brett C. Cammack" wrote:

Of course not, but you have to recognize that the two most powerful causalities are accident and error. <g> Just by sheer coincidence one of the files caused a sloppy virus scanner to have a hissy...
