Send me an infected file and I'll check it with my PC-cillin... Other than that, can't help you much... :) Michael Mordenti wrote: > > Just Ran Virus Protection (NAV) Norton Anti Virus informed me that I have > Virus name: Bloodhound.File.String, and it's only found in Euphoria > .EXE's (ratland.exe-marbels.exe-abgte2.exe-eu editor.exe) did I get a virus > or is the coding in Euphoria not compatible with Norton Anti Virus ? > see .txt info below.

Judging from the final lines: If the Norton AntiVirus reports this infection in a file, this means the Bloodhound (TM) system has analyzed and determined the file exhibits virus- like behavior (i.e. it may contain a new/unknown virus) it looks as if Bloonhound is the name of the virus searching technology. Meaning it found something that 'looked' like a virus. I'm guessing its due to the way euphoria is interpreted. You probably won't have to worry unless it shows up elsewhere. Its either a virus that is unknown to your version of nav or just a mistake. I'd say its the latter. >Just Ran Virus Protection (NAV) Norton Anti Virus informed me that I have >Virus name: Bloodhound.File.String, and it's only found in Euphoria >.EXE's (ratland.exe-marbels.exe-abgte2.exe-eu editor.exe) did I get a virus >or is the coding in Euphoria not compatible with Norton Anti Virus ? >see .txt info below.

A week ago someone reported the same problem to me: > Norton found "bloodhound file string" in your bin.exe and > ex.exe..Please advise.Thanx Here's what I said then... Thanks for reporting this. First, bin.exe is not ours, only ex.exe. No one has ever reported that a virus scanner has complained about ex.exe or anything else in our package. I searched DejaNews on the Web and apparently the "bloodhound" report is issued when the Norton antivirus software is suspicious of a file, but not when it matches it to an actual known virus. One person on DejaNews said that after running scandisk and correcting inconsistencies on his disk, this "bloodhound" message went away (he was not a Euphoria user.) If you are are worried about ex.exe, I would recommend that you download EUPHOR20.ZIP directly from our Web site and get the "official" version of ex.exe for v2.0. I'm not sure what Norton is complaining about. Perhaps the fact that ex.exe is a compressed executable makes it look funny to Norton.

Robert, You are correct. One more thing if you use the program called WinImage (ie..Floppy disk imager for windows) to format a 1.44MB floppy to 1.68MB or larger or in DMF format you will get this same message from Norton; when it scans the boot sectors of the disk. Basicly it sees an inconsistancy between the primary boot sector and the backup boot sectors on the disk. Norton is a little strange this way. I don't think there is a problem with his files on his drive. He prob. needs to re-innoculate the drive that his files are on. This will prob. fix this problem. See Ya on the NET!

>Ralf, what's so elegant about compression? >(Ralf and I obviously miss Matt's scattered one-liners! Sorrrry.) jiri Because otherwise a binded file would be > 300 kb, if you consider all the watcom libraries that have to be linked with it (graphics, sound) ... And if a binded file is, for example, 540 bytes, than esspecially the older systems, need to hack their autoexec.bat to get it to work. "Thankfully", with the windows 9x systems smart-disk, mscdex, etc. are all loaded outside of the first 640 kb, but I still remember a time, where I didnt even have to try to run an executable of 580 kb.
