w32/Trojan.YCW found in the "Crisis V1.exe" today by F-prot Antivirus using the latest definitions, which just downloaded today..
Norton Antivirus will not scan the file, says I dont have permission or that the file is in use and neither are true which is odd in itself.
So I can't be 100% sure, it could be some sort of false alarm (it would not be the first).
But I thought it worth a mention.

thanks for mentioning this, Tommy. I just scanned it with avg and it reported it clean; however, if anyone else gets a virus alert, plz let me know asap so i can remove and attempt to clean the file.

Tommyboy,

     Just scanned the install with Norton; nothing.  Zip.  Nada.  It's worth mentioning that my definition files are slightly less than 4 months old at this point.

I strongly suspect that F-prot is giving a false positive, a false alarm.
My NortonAV, AVG free, TrojanHunter dont find any problem with the file, and they are all set to scan active files, the same as F-prot.
AVG got updated today, my NAV definitions are no more than a week old.
This all leads me to believe that there is nothing infected about the file, but I thought it worth a mention.
If no-one else sees the problem, and no other AV progs find it an issue within the week, I'll delete this thread (or request it be deleted) as we can do without false alarms about what is a fine Mod.
