after years virues appear

Some of those virus signature databases aren't all that great. Last time I did an online scan using Panda and Trendmicro, they both found more than 10 "harmful" files. I knew each and everyone of them and they're clean as a whistle. I admit they were all what could be considered hacktools, keygens etc. but none of them would do anything malicious on any computer.

ya well its odd that old versions of software i had hanging round got hit
ikeep everything just in case i need re install

4.13.4 used to appear as malware on some antiviruses. We got word from Ask that they were talking to antivirus companies. After 4.13.4 we've updated their toolbar to lots of newer versions and they no longer should appear as a threat under any antivirus. If this happens it's usually Ask's duty to talk to the AV company to remove their software from the malware list.
