I had a similar problem with one customer last November.  When I sent
the file to myself via email, saved it to my hard drive, and then
emailed the file to the customer it was fine.  When the customer used
our program to email it directly, they're virus program would reject it.
They are using "MailSweep 5.2 for Domino" which also uses the McAfee
DLL.  We never resolved the issue.

Subject: poi file triggers virus alert?

Hi all,

I've successfully created a report in Excel using poi and I'm very happy
with the result, but the strangest thing happens when I try to email my
report to a certain company--their email system's virus scanner claims
that
the file has a virus.  The same email system doesn't complain when we
send
them an excel file we've created manually.

Here's the message their virus scanner gives them:

=================================
VIRUS INFECTION ALERT
WebShield   discovered a virus in this file. The file was not repaired
and has therefore been removed. See your system administrator for
further information.

Filename: DailyValues06112003.xls
Virus name: No status string available

Copyright   1993-2002, Networks Associates Technology, Inc.
All Rights Reserved.
http://www.nai.com

==================================

They currently use McAfee VirusScan v4.5.1 SP1 on a Microsoft Exchange
server.


Has anyone ever heard of this before?  I'll attach the file, too, if
anyone
wants to see it.

Thanks for any help you might give,

Tim
