Just to let you know we're currently experiencing a false virus detection from CA eTrust Antivirus.

There's nothing to worry about and hopefully they'll fix it soon.

It looks like the situation has been resolved with the latest eTrust Virus definitions.

Please update your clients, or change your antivirus program ;)

You should report it to the makers of Spybot-S&D and CA/eTrust so they can remove the false positive.
Complexity of incoherent design.

I have both of these and ever since instaling Spybot I've had problems. I'm sure i'm infected somehow.
I'll post a highjack log and maybe someone can see something.

You've mistaken my signature for a reply to you, it ain't the first time and won't be the last and it was not a reply to you. :P
