Re: [LUG] False Positive Viruses from the list?

Hi All,

Twice recently my AV has complained about viruses in incoming email and Thunderbird has crashed. Both times when I've turned off the AV to receive 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 me to ask whether anyone else has had false-positive reports of viruses?

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

Kind regards,

Julian

Are you sure its a false positive.
Crashing thunderbird sounds like theres something well dodgy in there!
