I have just recently scanned my harddrive with F-PROT115. During the scan, it returned the message - possible virus found: casper/1260. The file which it says is infected is vaxlink.exe. As the name implies, I use it to upload and download files to and from the vax. When I tried to disinfect the file, F-FCHK still reported a possible infection, but would not... or could not disinfect the file. I have also scanned the same file with McAfee's SCANV76C, and it does not report an infection. The question: Do I have an infection? (or is F-FCHK interpreting a piece of code in the vaxlink program as the signature of the casper/1260 virus...) If I do have an infection, why won't F-PROT disinfect the file? Any help would be greatly appreciated...... Thanks in advance.
