[omniORB] VIRUS ALERT: BackDoor-G2.cfg Trojan Horse detected in omniORB_280 _x86_win32.zip

[Michael J. Donahue]

Armin -

Can you verify that you are using at least the following.  It could be a bug in
McAfee, but I'm reasonably sure that the system isn't the problem.

McAfee VShield 4.0.3
Definitions:   4.0.4099
Date:               10/11/2000
Scan Engine:   4.0.70

Maybe the new data-files indetify the DLL incorrectly as containing a virus
since I've always McAfee running on NT and never found problems.
Just to check I downloaded it and had itr check for virusses. Nothing found
...

Th eother option is that you are somehow infected ...

Which is why I think it is not infected at all ...

Can someone confirm?

Dragsters, you can train a Monkey to drive straight.
Take a turn sometime and see if you can handle it.
