Dear list members.

I scanned my FreeBSD 6.2-Release (ports up to date) with
Avira Antivir personal ed, some days ago. The scanner returned
this:

...<snap>
checking drive/path (cwd): /
/usr/ports/security/p5-openxpki-client-html-mason/pkg-plist
 Date: 11.10.2007  Time: 16:04:06  Size: 9975
 ALERT:
[HTML/MHT.Gen] /usr/ports/security/p5-openxpki-client-html-mason/pkg-plist <<< Contains detection pattern of the HTML script virus HTML/MHT.Gen
<snap>...

The information Avira has one can read here:
http://www.avira.com/en/threats/section/details/id_vir/3679/html_mht.gen.html

I posted a question to openxpki-devel at lists.sourceforge.net.
They proposed that the scanner probably was "to nervous" for using with
Unix. (I can't tell myself)

Don't know if this says anything, but I though I would mention it
when I saw your posts.
