ClamXav discovered the following unidentified virus on my Mac, which no other antivirus program I have used has claimed is a virus. I am not sure whether it is a false positive or evidence of something insidiary going on on my PC. It originated from my PC, where I did a search for all files containing the word "LOG" in them, and zipped them up to keep them as "evidence" in case something in there could later be used to track the hacker(s) I've mentioned before. I then transferred the .zip file to my Mac, where ClamXav said there was a virus contained in the zip file. The possibly infected file has the unweildy name of x86_wcf-system.io.log_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_6.0.6000.16386_none_da9913e6bac66516.zip~RF478b4d4.TMP. If anyone has any info about the above file let me know. I plan on submitting it to McAfee or some other antivirus software vendor for analysis. Any recommendations on who to submit the file to would be appreciated as well.
Update: Apparently the virus was a null virus. I have no clue really how this relates to me and the incredibly sophisticated hacking that went on with my PC. This looks like a BB gun when what I need to find is a bazooka.
