I'm not sure whether it was this one, but yes, I've had a similar
experience. This happens when you download the malware while PCC's
Realtime-Scan is switched off, or it is a new virus that is not yet
known. PCC will find it only later, when it's alreeady in the message
base. (The message base is the location then; I assume this is what
you mean by "TB is the source").
However, usually malware is caught when downloading mail and never
make it into the message base.
I have also set PCC to "quaratine uncleanable files", so that it will
not just stay were it is when it cannot be cleaned.
