Quote - the only reason i knew i had it was because my AV company like most others had only made an update for it on the 4/25/2006 so in fact many of you that were infected by it could have had it already on your system and not known about it because the AV companies had no update to find it till the day you got the upgrade.

So in fact you shouldn't be blaming DAZ but your AV companies for not being up on this one since it was around for some time.

Maybe. However, I also downloaded a few other files from other sites, accepted an attachment of .png files through my email and a .jpg file over MSN.  I still find it odd that I only got a popup notification when I was downloading a Daz file into my Daz folder, and that  out of all of the .exe files on my computer only Daz .exe files were infected... all which were inside the folder that I was downloading the Daz file to.

Again, like I said it could be co-incidence.  But it still raises a red flag for me because it just sounds "too co-incidental".
