Myrmidan i seriously doubt that your account here is entirely accurate, not saying on purpose just that youre not sure exactly whats happened. Firstly put the link to the thread where you were told to get vlc and say exactly which post in the thread the link is in and i will check it and hopefully put ur suspicion to bed (or not lol). As far as im aware win 32 pe/patch is not a virus but is often used to pack with virus so may have been flagged as trace connection, as suspicious if you like. If infact there was a virus with the patch then i would like the name of it please. Did you delete the virus then vlc and then download again to test if it was actually the download that contained the virus it may have been dormant on your pc and the vlc download woke it, or it may have been dormant and just bad timing when it was discovered by ur av, ie would have been discovered at this precise time if u didnt download vlc, did you have av update definitions and thats y it was found. Are you indeed claiming it was in the set up file wiv vlc or attached via the webpage where you got vlc from.
