Exploits are not viruses. Exploits may install malware such as viruses and trojans.

Please supply the EXACT message(s) or log extracts.

Looks like it now costs $36/year to sign up for their services. Free
services have two basic domain searches, no I.P. services though ;0(

Use the cache while yah can ;0)

I'm speculating that the batch has found its way into test beds of
testing agencies such as av-comparatives, in which case vendors will
refuse to remove the fp. If I'm right, you can expect McAfee and
Sybari to start alerting again soon, along with several more products
which never used to produce the fp :) The harmless batch will be
deemed malware by decree of av-comparatives and the like ... not by av
company analyists. Like we always used to say back in my engineering
days, bullshit beats science! An engineer's nightmare is a marketeers
dream and vice versa! The marketplace rulez!!! Hey, false positives
sell, man!
