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?
