You claim in this thread that the ET Pro download page is infected with the tftp.exe/msblast/saveblast worms.
It is not true.
msblast/saveblast are RPC worms, which are not transmitted via HTTP/HTML.
Further, msblast/saveblast are microsoft-windows specific worms, and the ET Pro site runs Linux. It is impossible for Linux to get infected by msblast/saveblast.
It seems, this misinformation is being repeated without any critical thinking. Example here.
The only possible conclusions are:
1) Your PC is already infected with msblast/saveblast because you neglected to install the windows rpc patch.
2) Your virus scanner software is broken. Delete it and get a better one.
Please stop spreading this misinformation about ET Pro. It is simply not true.
