  *** Virus warning ***

Hello my Friends,
this afternoon my antivirus software detected a kind of trojan program:

Trojan-PSW.Win32.Lineage.acn

the same for every archive of the following list of files uploaded by jumpinthefire:

Metallica - April 21, 1986 - Brendan Byrne Arena - East Rutherford, New Jersey.exe
Metallica - February 11, 1984 - Ijsselhal - Zwolle, Holland.exe
Metallica - June 7, 1984 - Volksbildungsheim - Frankfurt, Germany.exe
Metallica - September 15, 1988 - Festhalle - Bern, Switzerland.exe
Metallica - August 17, 1991 - Donnington Park - Donnington, England.exe
Metallica - December 20, 1991 - Nassau Coliseum - Uniondale, New York.exe
Metallica - February 12, 1984 - Maecke Blyde - Poperinge, Belgium.exe
Metallica - July 3, 1993 - Rock Torhout - Torhout, Belgium.exe
Metallica - June 5, 1999 - Filaforum Assago - Milan, Italy.exe
Metallica - June 6, 1984 - Stadsgehoorzaal - Leiden, Holland.exe
Metallica - June 27, 1992 - Castle Farms Music Theatre - Charlevoix, Michigan.exe
Metallica - May 15, 1992 - Bison Sports Arena - Fargo, North Dakota.exe

I don't know if there is "false positive" or a real danger, however I had to delete the archives above.
".exe" files may contain hidden trojans, and damage seriously the computer if there is no frequent detection and cleaning of these viruses.
It's the reason because I only use ".rar" archives and not ".exe" for my uploads.

By the way, thank you again for your many and beautiful concerts shared with us Lance.

Bye
David

that is very odd....

i make sure none of my uploads have viruses or anything at all.

yes .exe files "CAN" contain stuff.. but thats the thing. i make them myself and nothing is put in them besides .mp3 files.

i dont know why this would come up on a virus scanner... it doesnt show me anything nor anyone else that has downloaded from me


sorry for whatever may have happened
cya guys smile

Lance, it's not your vault. Sometimes this shit happens. I know that you won't bring such virus attacks to other pc's. Keep up your good work. großes Grinsen

I trust you Lance, I'm sure you haven't put viruses into the archives.

Hear you soon
David
