   i just blame ignorants on windows, i am one myself, using hitmanpro and   
   malwarebytes, not yet clamwin, but i consider it when i possible drop malware   
   bytes with gives so many fp that i would love to get rid of windows :=)   
      
   hitmanpro is using virustotal api, uploading samples to them ? and check if   
   its clean in 60+ virus scanners ?   
      
   come on fidonet users is more cool then that ignorants
