Hi :)
Ok, i got the attachment off-list and he error is being thrown up by an 
Antivirus i haven't used before but is a fairly big name.  It could be a false 
positive but it's better to let the websites team know about it even if it is.  
They might be able to contact Avira and let them know of the problem, if it is 
a false positive.  If it's a real problem then they are the ones that could fix 
it fastest.  So, a win-win.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
