I had bit of a virus scare recently, so I did a wider check of my hard drive with VirusZ and found that, in the Settlers project, these two files were infected with Ebola.

This is in the ISOs of both of the files on the server -

TheZone/files/SettlersCD32 [The Settlers for CD32, needs a mouse and hdd to save.].iso
/TheZone/files/SettlersCD32Test.zip

The infection won't harm a real CD32 of course, and neither file is accessed by the Startup-Sequence or game. But Ebola is a nasty piece of work that will infect everything it can if it's loaded into memory.

I'm not sure where the infection could have come from originally, perhaps there's a copy of Settlers in TOSEC or the like that's infected?
