Just received an email with a file named readme.dat.exe scanned it with avast home 25/10/2006 definitions no virus found, scanned it with clam portable found Worm.Stration.CR virus. Anyone else seen this?

Cheers

Try to scan it at http://virustotal.com. It may be a false alarm of ClamAV, but it is 99% virus.

Send an email with the file (false positive or infected) to: virus@avast.com
You can zip and password the files… Inform a link to this thread and the password used.

You can use Alwil FTP server as a second way to transfer only big files. Upload them to ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming (please, note that you won’t have READ access to the ftp server, just write - so you won’t even be able to see what you’ve just uploaded).

Thanks.
