...? What virus? What did you use to scan, what happened, etc? This is very doubtful, so please provide all the information you can.

simoply take screenshots of your virus scanner, the location it found the virus. and how often the virus scanner is updated.

most likely cause is an out of date virus scanner

People have been using the mirrors for ages now. There is no virus :] Your system is either already infected, or your scanner is overly picky.

There is no virus, again :] People have used the official mirrors hundreds upon hundreds of times. Something is up with your system or your virus scanner. And please stop double-posting.

I have seen the Windows client be detected by Norton Antivirus as a virus, it was one of the character temporary files in the PS folder that it flagged. PS does not have a virus, the mirror does not have a virus. After more investigation of the system that this happened on, I discovered that this guy's brother had downloaded something that came with adware/spyware that attempted or succeeded infecting the PS files with something, or that it had just mis-flagged it to begin with. Do not trust antivirus software, do not trust any software that asks you to trust it, do not trust computers... that is all. Thank you.

Does that mean I don't have to download the entire mac client for proof now? Saves two hours :}

Bottom line - PS is virus free!
