okay,
i run the Full-On Mcaffee Suite, and supplement that with 2 other scanners listed in the stickies.

mcaffee runs weekly, and ive got all the settings maxed out for good measure...

its all good - or so i thought.

Boot Into Xandros OCE, and run the Ageis virus scanner and HOLY COW!

ive got W32/magistr.a@mm all over XP... its in the zip files, all over the .DLL'S
and even a few .EXE's its just everywhere!!!!!!

ive allso got the famous netsky - W32/netsky.c@mm allthough it looks sparse compared to the thousands of files "Magistr" has its grubby little paws on...

what gives? could it be false positives?

will hit google now to see what i can see...
