I use blogger.com, but keep the files on my webhost's server. When attempting to make a backup copy from the webserver to my local HD, using DW GET, Nortons kept popping up warning saying DW was attempting to download a trojan. The name of the trojan varied.
I tried doing a Syncronize, with 'delete remote not on local' checked, to see what files might be different - assuming that if Norton has stopped a file from uploading, I'd see it on the remote server but not the local. First time, doing the whole folder, I got yet another trojan warning, but I couldn't tell from what subfolder, so I started doing the same thing, doing one folder at a time. "no syncronization necessary" on everything, including my next attempt on the entire folder.
A full scan of the same folder on my local server is clean. My site's hosted on an Apache server, so it seems unlikely that there's an active virus there.
Because of the varying trojan names, and later clean syncronizations, I'm fairly certain these are false-positives.
Does anyone know why this might be happening, and how I can fix it? I use Norton for my AV, but the free version of ZoneAlarm for my firewall.
I'm off to use a web-based scanner on my system, but I expect that'll come up clean too. If it doesn't, I'll of course note that here.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
