The FAQ above states that the virus is in NTEmacs. I downloaded the
Emacs source tarball which can be built on any platform (or that was
my intent!) directly from the GNU web site. The FAQ above also
states: "To remove these warnings, update your virus scanner to the
latest version". I do have the latest version. I got the virus
warning because I was Windoze machine as a conduit between the web and
our Solaris machine. Has anyone else seen this problem in the non NT
version of the tar ball?
