  • Possible infections

    From Ben Ritchey@1:393/68 to All on Sun Jul 24 17:29:45 2016

    I recently (yesterday) updated my Anti-virus scanner from Microsoft to AVG and it found a number of possibly infected files, all in the WinFree section. I would recommend you purge these from your system at your earliest convenience, sorry about that {sigh} but NOONE else hit on them (Mcafee free scan, Norton free scan, ClamAV and Microsoft) so they could be false positives. :) None were

    classified as a serious risk either, so dunno, better safe than sorry. I purged

    them from my system immediately. :)

    Addendum: if your system honors the replace parameter in TIC files, you need do

    nothing as cleansed archives have been sent out for all the infected ones. :)
