Is anyone's anti-virus software showing any PDN file infected with virus or trojans?

I've had one fellow report this though all files hatched were checked with Frisk's f-prot at the time of release. I'm expecting false positives... but still.... Just curious if it's one fellow's system or what...

These files generally are sent here by authors or picked up from sites like git-hub etc.

Thanks,
Janis

I haven't added any of the new areas at this point, but nothing has been reported as being infected up till now from the entire filegate. I'm using the latest version of clamav and every time it's ran I run "freshclam" which downloads the latest definitions.

Thanks Nick... all I can figure is maybe some of these files are so old (like going back to 1980's and 90's), the heuristics engine thinks they're bad? Every
seen anything like that?

Take care,
Janis

Probably false, my system scanned 2,864,973 files in 42:14 and all clean :)

Hi Ben,

Janis, some of these are yours (WinGame) and bear double-checking as they're listed as actually infected with something, yes?

I'll check it out.. Thanks Ben

Take care,
Janis

/win_game/25AwnmcW.zip comes up clean here with latest virus defs.. /lnx4games/25AwnmcL.zip also comes up clean (Gert's hatch) /pkware/pkwin32/pkzw400s.zip comes up clean...

I dunno.. <g>

Anyone else see a problem with these files on their system?

Never hurts to double check {chuckle} all my scanners agree with you, too. :)
