[pygtk] PyGTK - one of the packages might be infected with a virus

[Cedric Gustin]

Hi, 

Strange. My virus scanner (Trend Micro Client Server Messaging Security for
SMB) has not detected any virus in the mentioned files. 

Could you please be more specific about the antivirus software you use ?

Hello,

My computer was recently attacked by a virus. After some checking the
result that I got is that it's probably (not 100% sure, yet there is a
high chance) from one of the packages listed below:

pycairo-1.4.12-1.win-32-py2.5.exe
pygobject-2.14.1-1.win-32-py2.5.exe
pygtk-2.12.1-2.win-32-py2.5.exe
pygtk sourceview-2.4.0.tar.bz2

I have no data on my pc that I can send you to help since it was
formated as the only solution for the virus. I don't know what to do with
this info so I'm emailing this to the maling list - hoping that someone here
could help.

Just to be safe, I think it might be a good idea to recompile theese
packages and/or warn people about the potential virus in them.

The packages were downloaded from the download link for the windows
binaries in the PyGTK website (they were downloaded from ftp.gnome.org
), and I downloaded the python binding for the GTKsourceview from the
same ftp site.

Please email me back to confirm that you got this email.
