Hi Ed,   
      
   > The day I tried to grab DV386_3H.ZIP IIRC I first went to ASK.COM and   
   > did a Search for http://cmech.dynip.com/BFDS and McAfee SiteAdvisor gave   
   > the results a Red Mark and WOT (Web of Trust) gave it a Yellow Mark.   
      
   > The results had something about FILEGATE.ZXX in it.   
      
   > www.filegate.net/info/filegate.zxx was the URL shown in the result list.   
      
   Oh geez, talk about overly warped virus stuff :)   
      
   filegate.zxx is the list of file echotags for the FileGate distribution :)   
      
   > So I entered the address www.filegate.net/bfds in firsfox and got a Pop   
   > Up from McAfee Site Advisor NOT to go there.   
      
   That's even more ridiculous :)  All the files on my site have been tested   
   (more than once) and are ok.. I use F-PROT to test the files for viruses.   
      
   Like that one:   
      
   ===

   > I clicked to go ahead to Janis's site anyway and downloaded the file.   
      
   > I checked the file out at a CMD prompt with Pkunzip -t DV386_3H.ZIP to

   See if you can find pkunzip.. it's a freeware version of zip.  Over here, that   
   archive has files in it:   
   ====   
   bbs@filegate:~$ unzip -v /home/ftp/pub/bfds/DV386_3H.ZIP Archive:

   Nope :)   
      
   > I always thought it was just www.filegate.net .   
      
   It is..   
      
   There was a time when some windows games in Gamesnet had some virus reported   
   by one site or another, but those were false positives too.. (very old   
   files).. I deleted all of them out of frustration and reported that they were   
   'gone' to various sites.. guess it wasn't "enough"    
      
   Take care,
