ok, well I did some more investigating and here is what I found: There is NO VIRUS here and although identified as bat.deltree.trojan by Norton AV, THERE IS NO THREAT. norton AV is not malfunctioning in any way, but is OVERPROTECTIVE. I'll explain what I mean below. here is the Lame v6 Preview file Patches/Tihiy/user/backup.bat in its ENTIRETY; file created by RPLite5.exe REM first bat that launches backup @echo off deltree /y %windir%\revbckup md %windir%\revbckup md %windir%\revbckup\system xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system.dat %windir%\revbckup xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\user.dat %windir%\revbckup xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system\user.exe %windir%\revbckup\system xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system\user32.dll %windir%\revbckup\system xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system\9xsp3res.dll %windir%\revbckup\system xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system\dll.dll %windir%\revbckup\system xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system\shldll.dll %windir%\revbckup\system xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system\ktmdll.dll %windir%\revbckup\system xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system\comctl32.dll %windir%\revbckup\system xcopy /Y /H /R %windir%\system\comctlv6.dll %windir%\revbckup\system @cls @exit Simply put Norton AntivVirus is offended by the deltree command. Its acting in a very sensitive way IMO and this is not configurable through Norton Options/Preferences so the only thing to do is select 'ignore and dont scan again'. It is detected as soon as RPLite5.exe is being extracted and is recognized as the 'bat.deltree.trojan'. Of course a batch file with a sinister plot could effectively damage an OS by using the deltree dos command so i understand why the AV picked this up however the file mentioned here is perfectly harmless and I apologize for making the mistake and falsely identifying this as a virus. Maybe it is possible for an admin to scratch this whole thread? Again (as ive stated before) this is an awesome update and Im guilty of not doing my homework here and jumping the gun. It just goes to show you cant always trust your antivirus software as the other replies can attest. regrets &apologies -A.

just a heads up, although this seems to be an excellent update it appears to contain a virus. after installing the Lame v6 preview in the Windows\TEMP directory \7ZSB101.TMP\PATCHES\TIHIY\temp\User\backup.bat <-------CONTAINS A "delete BAT" virus (or similar) this was picked up by norton AV '06 autoprotect and REPAIRED WITHOUT INCIDENT.. however, the name of this virus just sounds nefarious and I shudder to think what might happen if... I havent elected to install ALL portions of this powerpack and Im not finished installing my selections yet so its quite possible there could be more. heads up. Peace -A.
