Hi,
I am using Avira Antivir Free Edition, and since I upgraded to Sabntbd 0.5.0, I get strange messages that there are different kinds of viruses in my Sabnzbd Cache Folders, for example (since I have a german WinXP and Antivir running in german, the error message is in german too, but it says that it found a HTML-Virus in one of the cache files):
In der Datei 'C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Username\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\sabnzbd\cache\SABnzbd_article_lu0fvu'
wurde ein Virus oder unerwünschtes Programm 'HTML/Silly.Gen' [virus] gefunden.
Does anybody know why this happens? At the moment, I still assume that this is a false positive report, but what can I do against it? Or may there be really dangerous things in those cached files?

Re: Antivir complaining about sabnzbd cache
These files contain the data you download from Usenet, so the actual (decoded) articles.
So, if you are downloading infected software, your virus scanner may trigger.
Often these tools have false reports.
It makes more sense to tell AntiVir to leave the cache folder alone.
If you have downloaded a virus, AntiVir will trigger when SABnzbd
copies the end result to a file in the "temporary download folder"
or the final folder.
