Hello everyone,

I am a newbie with ClamWin so I first want to say thank you for making this software available for FREE!

I scanned my computer and came up with the virus below.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\PPTTOOLS.PPA: Exploit.MSWord.CVE_2006_6561-1


I went to the following site to scan it online and with the 32 virus scanners only Clam recognized the virus.
https://www.virustotal.com/en/indexf.html

So I have two questions:
1. Is this a real virus?
2. If it is a virus, how do I get rid of it?

I searched to net for info regarding this and could not find anything useful. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kurt

P.S. Below is the scan results from VirusTotal website.

it appears to be a false positive if only clam recognised it as a virus.

please submit it to the ClamAV database team here:
