| A friend of mine JUST detected something called "TR/Femad.Java.3" on their
| Win98SE system. They use AntiVir.
|
| I can't seem to find anything much about this bug anywhere except at some
| German-based sites.
|
| There *are* a couple of other weird things happening on his computer too,
| but it can't be easily duplicated. This is what prompted us to do a virus
| scan.
|
| AntiVir pops up with "arr3[1].jar, Infected archive". But then it says
| "cannot delete ore repair archives".
|
| Anyone have any experience with this particular nasty?
