Hi All,

Twice recently my AV has complained about viruses in incoming email andThunderbird has crashed. Both times when I've turned off the AV toreceive mail it has been incoming mail from the list it has *claimed*has a virus.

I'm positive there are no viruses coming from the list, so that leads meto ask whether anyone else has had false-positive reports of viruses?

Incidentally in both instances I mentioned above the alleged virus wasTrojan-Spy.HTML.Fraud.gen. Neither email was from the same person.


Kind regards,

Julian
