First, you have to show an open mind yourself. Your original post didn't, and your conclusion in this post doesn't show one either. > For those who refuse to believe that Beonex can be in any way at > fault, I suggest the following URL: > http://www.amishrakefight.org/gfy/ ("Go fuck yourself") Such language will not be tolerated on this mailing list. > Preface: I use Norton Anti-Virus religiously.

If you hit "Delete" after it found a virus, it will not only delete the virus, but the entire Inbox. This is a bug in NAV and there's not much we can do about it. > http://www.beonex.com/communicator/version/0.8/install/win32/download.html > > ... and selected the link for "ibiblio.org (USA; ftp)" where I > obtained the following file: > > beonex-comm-0.8-stable-1-win32-installer.exe I PGP-sign each browser release download before it leaves my own private network. The signatures are public, accessiable from abive quoted page. I also have these signatures stored locally. Because all other people reported that they have neither litmus.exe nor the problems you describe, I think we can assume that *some* versions of this release file were OK. I just downloaded the file you mentioned from ibiblio and checked it signature against the signature file on my own computer. The file is the same that I uploaded back then. So, unless the had an intermediate virus problem, which they fixed in the meantime (quite unlikely, I'd say, esp. because they don't report about it in their News section), the file seems to be sane, judging from the other reports. I invite you to check your own copy of the downloaded file against the PGP signature (you need PGP or GnuPG, of course). > That was immediately followed by another > pop-up warning from Zone Alarm asking if I wanted to allow > Beonex-comm.exe to access the internet as a server.

Good to know that you are sure what happened. I guess we can close this issue then.
