|
|
I'm reportedly infected with VBS/Newlove.A in
C:\WINNT\system32\ActiveScan\imscan.dll
AntiVir®/XP (2000 + NT) Personal Edition v6.25.00.03 of 11.05.2004
VDF file v6.25.0.80 (0) of 28.05.2004
I doubt I am infected given the precautions I take and any online virus scan I do through either www.bitdefender.com or www.mcafee.com do not detect this file as being infected.
Any ideas ? |

*sigh*...two minutes after posting this I find
"This is a DLL part of Panda Antivirus software. It contains search strings for detecting viruses, but these search strings are not encrypted. Because of this, the file may appear infected to other scanners." |

Howdy,
yep it's a panda thing. I wish they would change the way they do stuff. I have seen people delete that file and then complain that panda isn't working right.
