Virus Infected !!

Hi all,

Just letting you know that upon downloading the latest version of Xolox, I found it was infected with the Win32.PSW.Platan Trojan virus. I dont know if this is just my virus scanner playing up, but I experienced the same problem from every single download location.

I currently use InoculateIT 6.0.85, and my virus signatures are dated 14/09/01 (so not out of date). I have read up on the virus and found it attempts to steal DUN passwords and send them to an anonymous email account somewhere in Russia.

If you have downloaded this program latelty, I suggest you virus-scan your PC, although it may already be too late.

Can't find the file iexpand.exe, which would be a indetication of infection with Platan. So no virus in my xolox.exe.
