Hi. this is my first post and if it is in the wrong place let me know. ClamWin quarantined InchTour which I have read is a microsoft file having to do with quicktour. My question is: I have run ClamWin many times and why would it just now select this file to quarantine when it didn't before? could the file have become corrupt? should I delete it?

thanks for your help.

Most likely this is a false positive identification caused by a new signature in Clam that recognizes a bit of code in your program. Viruses often use some code that is similar to other "good" software. Go to the ClamAV submission form at https://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi on the Web. You can fill out the form (be sure to tell them it is a false positive) and upload the file there. They will take a look at the file and change the Clam signature if needed.

Regards,
