It is quite possible the exe file was incomplete making it impossible to

Reject immediately what you can. I've never received a friendly bat,
com, scr, pif, or exe file, for example, so don't waste cpu cycles
scanning them for viruses. They are summarily rejected with prejudice.
Oh I agree and that is actually in place (via simscan). The .exe was
removed from a .zip file for debugging my problem.
So the .exe file never changed from one scan to the next, yet changing
the definitions somehow made the scanner pick up the virus.
Ok - now it's an odd problem :)
