I've taken the test several times using TB, Nod32 and the Nod32
plug-in in varying combinations and have never experienced a problem.

I use a number of GFI products and have never had a problem.  Their
reputation is very good and their scanner program is often recommended
in the security community.

I recall others on the list discussing strange happenings with certain
anti-virus plug-ins and programs.  What anti-virus program are you
using?  Any anti-virus plug-in?  If you are getting the message over
and over, even if you are offline, you may have a problem with TB and
your anti-virus program.  A search of the archives may prove useful.

You might also want to take a look at the processes running on your
computer to see if there are, in fact, any programs that you do not
recognize.
