There was no report/list of the files included in your post. You can verify an infected file by uploading it to Jotti at https://virusscan.jotti.org/en on the web or to Virus Total at https://www.virustotal.com/ on the web. Either service provides free file scans with multiple antivirus programs--including Clam AV, which provides the scanning engine/signatures for ClamWin.

If several antivirus programs say a file is infected, it probably is, and you can/should remove it from your computer. I like to see at last 5 AVs say a file is infected before I believe it. If less than 5 AVs see anything, look to see if a couple of these large AV companies see an infection: Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Symantec, and Trend Micro.

If there is a false positive, it will often show the same infection for more than one file. If you have a false positive, youshould upload one of the files to Clam AV at https://www.clamav.net/lang/en/sendvirus/ on the web. Be sure to indiciate it is a false positive and give the exact name of the falsely-detected virus in the comments section of the upload form. Clam will usually correct their signature within a couple of days.

Hi, thanks for your reply - will do this. I had copied in the report although it was rather small! Thanks again
