Nobody has actually tested the files to see if they are Windows executables that I've seen. It is entirely possible they could be Linux executables. File extensions don't mean much on a Linux system but it seems from this thread a great way to pass around Linux viruses is to tack on a .exe extension and a lot of people will ignore them to their great peril. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
