    Avira Antivir Professional 10.2.0.1060  28.09.2011
    Suchengine                 8.02.08.44   26.01.2012
    Virendefinitionsdatei      7.11.22.14   01.02.2012

tells me, that the latest emacs-24 pretest and snapshot binaries contain
viruses.

    addpm.exe		TR/Siscos.iic
    cmdproxy.exe	TR/Siscos.iid
    ddeclient.exe	TR/Siscos.iie

Is it true or false positive.

Martin

Christoph Scholtes, who compiled the binaries, is currently looking into
this.  In the meantime, I've pulled the 23.4 binaries off the FTP site,
just to be safe.

Emacs had problems being incorrectly flagged by anti-virus software
before.  We'll see whether this is the same situation.

err...Symantec Antivirus didn't flag anything and I do run with the
latest virus definition files.  I took the Emacs binaries off the
mirror site on the 1st.
