[edit] I've just done a full scan and found no virii on my new notebook. I'm doing a full scan of my old notebook and will update you as to the result. Yes, I have 4.71 on both ID: 137197 ·

Here's what NOD32 Setup (Under NOD32) says of it: If a scan finds a “Probable NewHeur_PE virus found”, please do the following: 1. Place a tick in the Quarantine check-box 2. Select Delete 3. Send the quarantined file to Eset: sample@nod32.com This file can be found here: C> Program files> Eset> Infected ID: 137205 ·

Someone else have NOD32 and BOINC 4.71 installed? Saludos / Greetings NOD32 uses advanced Heuristic scanning, a method of detecting new viruses based on known viruses before definitions are available. By it's very nature it will detect the occasional false positive.
