I keep getting this warning with some Excel files we have created. They definitely don't have a virus, and I understand this is a long-standing bug with F-Prot. I contacted their support desk but they lost interest when they saw it wasn't a virus. It's a problem as our file server displays a virus warning every day, which looks bad if anyone else happens to see it. Question is, what can I do about it? The files in question are created by another application which inserts VBA code into the spreadsheet. Is there some code in particular which sets off the virus warning? Has anyone else had any success with this problem? Ray Greene. >> Stay informed about: F-Prot misdisinfected virus warning
