Hi, I couldnt download that specific file because I'm getting a 404 error, so I can't judge for sure, but Norton AntiVirus is really not scanning good when it comes to Unix files, and I think thats the same for McAcfee. Most of Linux stuff is recognized as "linux fork bomb" "linux logical trojan" or "generic worm", which is not really true and/or missleading. Mostly, they judge linux exploits as some "malicious code" and so give you the result you got. To sum it up, I wouldnt care if a windows specific scanner tries to judge Linux exploits/tools/programs ;-) Maybe someone who has more knowledge on the detection routines of virus scanners can light this up. > > mcaffee reports the x2 file as containing the bleh unix worm ?? > Regards, Philipp ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
