McAfee throws up a virus alert, as found by a user at DAZ3D.

Avast won't even let my PC download the file

W32/Ramnit.a is the virus detected by McAfee

My antivirus program (Nod32) reported the same virus, Ive sent an email to Rendo 9 hours ago, see now that the file is gone from freestuff section.

Thanks, for that info, I shall pass it on to the person who found it at DAZ3D, who is one of our CVs and also to my forum team leader.

It's been taken care of. Bobby yanked it and will contact the member.

Thanks so much brynna & Jumpstartme2

I am sorry If I posted in the wrong place, just needed to get the info to someone ASAP.

I could yank the link in our Forum at DAZ3D, and hope that no one else had DLed it, and post a warning to the thread, just in case. But here, I wasn't quite certain what the procedure is, as just lately I am a lurker, rather than an active participant, mostly.

It was just a shame that it was one of our CVs who got caught, because he wanted to help the guy who had posted the link, asking for help.

I did PM Bobby as well, because I had a feeling he had something to do with the freestuff.

You did just fine..you can always contact myself, Bobby, or Brynna because we are over the Freestuff :)

Thanks!

file may be named at daz, but how will users here find out which is the bad file? eventually the daz thread will be gone.  is there some standard method here to notify users who download viruses?
