Possible Virus in v.5 Folio Plug-in [false alarm]

Hey folks;

One of the helpful people downloading the v.5 version of my plug-in has reported that Kaspersky found a virus in one of the files. I can't yet duplicate the report with Panda, Norton, or AVG, but just in case, please delete all of the files in mod/folio from your computers. This shouldn't cause any uninstall problems with your servers, reloading the plug-in won't kill any data.

I'll repost when I can either confirm or deny the problem. If anyone else gets this message, please let me know.

checking the version in svn, clamav finds nothing.

F-Secure used to flag 2 files in version 4 as containing a virus but I considered it to be a false positive. Haven't had the chance to try version 5 yet.

Thanks for checking Sven. I installed Kasper & cleaned up the suspected virus. I think it's a false positive, but better safe than sorry.
