It was the latest version of CC, the Hippo sit plus the alternative, and f-prot. The first virus I have seen on my PC in years.

False positive ... known problem with F-Secure according to several posts such as this article

Thanks. I tried this morning at Afterdawn, got the same virus at start of download with f-prot, but was able to continue with Opera after clearing the virus check. Subsequent virus check on installer on desktop also supposedly found the virus, but was able to delete it from the installer by f-prot.

 

Kind of unnerving, but I guess all is well.

 

Thanks again.
