What is "pcre -packet"?  That is not part of the PCRE distribution that 
I put out. Where did you get your pcre-8.33.zip file from? How did you 
compile it (./configure or cmake or what)?

There is no such thing as conftest in the PCRE distribution tarball that 
I release.

This is not normal. We need to find where this conftest file came from. 

Aha! I had a thought, and Googled "conftest". Looks like it is a file 
that gets generated by the ./configure system for checking compiler
options. I didn't know about that.

So I don't think it is a virus. That's good news. Nobody has ever 
reported this before, but perhaps not many people run the kind of virus 
checker that you do.
