Or maybe it was 0.5.0 but point being, his software said the file had a virus in it >_> Pretty sure this is either a bug, or his software is just crap.

Which virus scanner and which file :?: I have had a positive when i did a scan of my svn repo quite a while back(3 yrs) but it was just a macro in a .doc file that it did not recognize so marked as positive.But as you mentioned a live one is very unlikely :D

Enjoy the Choice :)

I think the scanner was either Norton or Mcafee. As far as which file it was, I'm not sure :\

^^^^^^disregard all of that:

Scanners were AVG and Avast, they marked it as a trojan. And he said he doesn't remember what file specifically it was.. He just said it was just found in the VS files.

If he could check his logs...

task tray(Avast on Access Protection) > right_click("a") > "Avast log viewer" > "warning"

I don't remember how Panda or AVG has it stored.
