W32.Pinfi (aka Win32.Parite) - a request

[GetCarter]

Hi people.

I uploaded a screen saver (photos of the Highlands of Scotland) to my webspace (which I'm going to put online to raise money for the local mountain rescue team)

A few downloaded and Norton flagged (and removed on download) the W32.Pinfi (aka Win32.Parite) virus. Not a nasty one, just a pain in the proverbial and difficult to track rather than being malicious.

As I don't want to put the wind up punters (or spread any sort of virus) I thought it essential to fix.

Norton scanned my file/folder and HD but never found it.

Scratch head.

Downloaded a remove tool from BitDefender. Ran remove tool. Ran scans with Norton and BitDefender - no virus found.

Zipped, uploaded and downloaded to 3 computers, no virus detected.

Before I link it from my site, It'd be good to get a few others to download, make sure it doesn't still get flagged.

If anyone has a few seconds (broadband! - 8 mb zip file) - could you download new file and let me know?

If it does get flagged, This computer will end up in the loch.

If you could let me know. Ta

Steve

Blimey, a result. Thanks for your help guys.

Looks as if BitDefender got rid of the bugger.
